Welcome to the Meniscus IPMS service - the leading web based service for turning data into information.

IPMS enables users to calculate benchmark, unit cost, key performance indicator and other management information from any numeric data in order to monitor, compare and improve the performance of any type of asset.

IPMS maximises the value of data held in existing corporate databases by uniquely allowing users to combine this data (regardless of the frequency with which data is stored) to create new value added management information. Data can also be imported directly from site.

This system is set up from the web site and has comprehensive data processing, analysis and reporting features. All of this is hosted on our servers and charged on a Pay as you Go type basis - i.e. you pay for what you use.

Please look through the links below to find out how IPMS can improve your business.

IPMS provides an easy to use yet powerful tool to monitor and report on the cost and performance of any asset anywhere in the world.

Designed to handle any type of numeric data at any frequency of monitoring - from once per month to every minute - IPMS provides the power of desktop data processing applications without the need to buy any software - you pay for what you use. Furthermore, you and your team can access it from anywhere (internet access required).

Setting up a site is quick and easy using the web site wizard. A range of pre-configured meter types further simplifies the task by handling all the complex data processing issues and ensures that IPMS is able to manage any type of numeric data.

With the ability to define costs, conversions, targets, to create complex calculations and a lot more besides, IPMS provides a powerful tool for modeling your data requirements.

Getting data into IPMS is easy and a range of options are available to suite most requirements from manual to automated data entry.

Manually collected data can be entered via hand held PDA, directly into the web site or from pre-configured spreadsheets sent by e-mail.

Automatically collected data from SCADA or Building Management Systems can be sent to the Meniscus FTP site or via email at any frequency (typically daily or more frequently) and then validated and imported automatically.

IPMS provides a number of ways to monitor data and to receive e-mail alarms.

From the setting of high/low exception limits to more sophisticated automated monitoring techniques such as SPC (Statistical Process Control), IPMS delivers the flexibility to monitor key cost and performance information quickly and easily.

Benchmarking cost and performance of assets has never been easier with IPMS providing the ability to create benchmark graphs for any parameter directly from the web site.

Within the web site Process Traffic Lights provide an easy visual representation of potential cost, process or compliance issues.

IPMS offers a range of graphing and reporting features from web based graphs and trends to a broad variety of pre-configured management reports, to quickly provide you with a better understanding of your data.

Raw or processed data can be exported direct to Excel to allow you to undertake your own analysis or using our IPMS Excel facility you can import data direct into Excel without having to access the web site at all - allowing you to create your own management reports and to update them with data at the touch of a button.

Finally, IPMS provides the means to highlight potential opportunities, to add graphs and comments, to communicate these opportunities to others and to track their overall progress.

So helping you to continually monitor and improve the cost and performance of assets anywhere in the world.
