Why use N2Ndata?
Turn data into information N2Ndata uses powerful algorithms to analyse both automatic and manual data. It provides the tools you need for decision making – dashboards, traffic light coded tables and exceptions reports, trend and comparison charts, KPI benchmarking reports and alarms are produced in seconds, on the fly. It does the donkey work for you and sends emails and sms messages to you about the what, where and when of any problems. Use our NOTES module to keep everyone in the picture online. One stop, information online ‘shop’Don’t rely on multiple legacy systems or on other too busy people. Use our web portal as your own window to all your information, whenever need it from lap top, tablet of phone. We collect and integrate all your data in a common database then normalise it for aggregation, processing, analysis and visualisation. Any browser can be used to easily and quickly access value added and up to date information from anywhere, any time.
Save time and money
Eliminates data collation, unit conversion, calendar alignment and interval adjustment. Normalised and aligned data is automatically analysed and used to generate KPIs and perform benchmarking on the fly. Select from a wide range of standard charts, exceptions and status reports, dashboards that are produced in seconds. Custom charts and reports can be easily built. N2Ndata saves you time for use in planning and acting.

How it works
At the heart of N2Ndata is an industrial grade, open source database that accepts both live and manual data from any source, in any format using and any protocol. Data transfer is typically via a hybrid mix of radio (NB-IoT, 3/4G mobile, LoRaWAN, Sigfox) and site data cable networks with a Gateway/Bridge to the Internet either via the customers LAN or a mobile network carrier. Data arrives at our secure Cloud servers over the Internet where it is uploaded via an ecoLINK interface module. These modules allow our system to interface with any other system, meter, sensor or data logger. We have a growing range of ecoLINKs to suit most systems and devices; if not we can quickly build one. Data can come via email, sms, ftp; whatever. Interval data can also be manually entered online for any parameter such as invoiced usage and costs, monthly production figures, trade waste discharge volumes, hotel bed nights, etc. Live and manual data from the same DataPoint can be charted, reported and compared on line. Once captured, the data is checked for anomalies and corrective action taken; the validated raw data is stored in our commercial database. It is then normalised to get it into common units at standard intervals and aligned to standard calendar months. These steps are essential for aggregation and calculating KPIs across multiple buildings, systems, sites and portfolios. The system uses a number of internationally respected software programs. Powerful algorithms and over 3 million lines of code have been continuously developed since the system was released in 2005. -
Cloud Based, Pay as you Go Subscription
The data and software are hosted in the Cloud by MS Azure. Our servers have up to 16 CPUs and 128 GB RAM for maximum performance. High security is provided by VLAN segmentation with the network layer directly on top of Cisco Catalyst switches. VPN Server access, plus protection against DoS, DDoS, worms and botnets combined with SSAE16 Certification means you can rest easy. Your valuable data is backed up completely independent from the N2Ndata operating system. To access the data and your information simply use the browser on your computer, smart phone or tablet to login via one of our web portals. You will have instant access to the latest information in a format and arrangement to suit you. We manage and update the N2Ndata system for you which allows you to focus on your core business while we focus on ours – the data and information business. A simple pay as you go business model (Platform and Software as a Service) that puts minimal demands on your ICT personnel.
