Web based benchmarking Tailor made reports Set targets and limits Eye-catching Graphics Improved engine

Web based benchmarking
Sigma 2.0 can manage online benchmarking projects without any further software requirements for the participants. You define the performance indicators system and Sigma will create a web based benchmarking portal so utilities can upload data and check the results and reports once they have been published. All they need is an internet connection and a web browser.
Tailor made reports
Sigma 2.0 has a new report engine that makes it easier to present your results without giving up the needed flexibility. Personalize your reports with graphs, tables and text in a quick and simple manner. If all this is not enough and you need to prepare your reports in another software, Sigma exports graphs and tables with the highest possible quality (including vector formats) to facilitate your job.
Set targets and limits
In this new version of Sigma you will be able to establish objectives for your indicators. In this way, it will be much easier to determine if your strategic decisions are leading to the expected results. Additionally, Sigma allows now to establish graphical limit values (upper and lower limits) and bring the attention to any potential abnormal behavior from the system. For all these reasons, Sigma is now an ideal management tool, which will allow you to apply systems such as the balance scorecard to your utility, while complying with the IWA system of performance indicators.
Eye-catching Graphics
Benchmarking without good graphics is not benchmarking. Sigma can generate both classic and modern graphs, but above all, attractive graphs. Create charts and graphs using any information stored in Sigma through its intuitive and powerful wizard, comparing data from different utilities or creating time series. Regardless of your choice, Sigma guarantees that the graphics will be eye-catching..
Improved engine
Sigma 2.0 calculates better and faster. The new internal engine allows evaluating separately indicators from each utility in a benchmarking project and participants can receive their results as they submit the data. Additionally, Sigma provides individual error reports for each participant. Finally, Sigma is the only software that calculates the accuracy of the performance indicators from the International Water Association following the methodology proposed by IWA itself, showing not only the uncertainty of each indicator but also the reliability of each variable used for its calculation.
