Power Grids launches Market Intelligence Portal (MIP)

Market Intelligence is the fuel that helps businesses grow faster and compete more effectively. Power Grids (PG) is now launching its dedicated Market Intelligence Portal (MIP) (VPN required) for the standalone business, bringing the latest insights on the economy, markets, competitors, and customers to your fingertips. The new platform connects PG’s distributed business intelligence network, enabling everyone to contribute to our market intelligence database.

The focus for the MIP is on strategic demand-side intelligence, covering three primary topics:

• Economy – Economic outlooks and in-depth analyses, economic indicators, commodities
• Markets – Insights from a solutions/product perspective and a customer sector perspective
• PG’s Competitors and Customers

At the core of the portal is a single market intelligence database with a clear structure and mandatory tagging by pre-set categories. Functionality allows for effective searching by tags so that different paths yield to the same result. While the MIP is managed by the Market Intelligence central team, all PG employees can access, identify, and share content in three categories:

• Research – reports, data, intelligence
  
• Sources – databases or non-shareable reports and the person who has access to them
• Experts – PG colleagues who are experts for a particular industry, product, region, etc.

By nature of its design, the effectiveness of the MIP is dependent on the active participation of PG’s broad intelligence community. Colleagues are strongly encouraged to access the portal, activate alerts to stay updated, and contribute so that everyone in the business stays informed on the latest insights.
