Burntsand Completes Gas Supply Data Mart for BC Gas

Burntsand Inc is pleased to announce that the company has completed the design and implementation of a Data Mart for the Gas Supply Department of BC Gas. BC Gas Inc is a leading provider of energy and utility services in British Columbia. Burntsand utilized a staff of experts and thought leaders to implement the Gas Supply Decision Support System (GSDSS) that consolidates data from various sources and provides enhanced access to critical business intelligence. Burntsand's expertise and experience implementing data marts was a key contributor to the success of this implementation.

The transformation of the energy and utility services industry across North America is creating many new opportunities to put BC Gas's expertise to work. Building on its strong foundation, BC Gas is expanding beyond its traditional business, and has identified the need to quickly access data, provide information, and leverage the knowledge gathered through business activity. The Data Mart provides the Gas Supply group with a ``one-stop shop'' repository for the retrieval of information.

"Burntsand's experience in data warehousing was crucial in the successful implementation of the GSDSS. BC Gas is focused on growth and willing to embrace the changes in the energy and utilities industries - we were very pleased with the quality of our working partnership with Burntsand", commented Jan Marston, vice president Gas Supply and Transportation Services. "We are pleased that we now have the ability to strengthen our use of data and to develop a solid foundation for business intelligence."

"BC Gas' Data Mart represents a transformation to an e-Business Intelligence focus that provides an invaluable analysis and communication platform, allowing information to be managed and leveraged in critical business environments", stated Jim Yeates, Burntsand's Chairman and CEO. "The GSDSS provides a new way of doing business for BC Gas, and Burntsand is pleased to have worked as BC Gas' partner in bringing this e-Business Intelligence vision to reality".
