LEIDAR
Industry knowledge and application landscape

In design
The situation this answers
You know your own systems, but only part of the market you are choosing in: who supplies what in this domain, and what could replace what you run today.
We want to talk with those of you who
- are about to map the application landscape and do not want to start from scratch.
- are choosing between off-the-shelf solutions and do not know which exist for this domain.
- know a system has to go, but not what could take its place.
- are debating which system should own master data, and inherit today's answer without choosing it.
- have been handed an empty modelling tool before, and spent the time afterwards filling it.
What it is meant to give
- Will start from a finished capability map
- Will name the applications known in the sector
- Will show what can replace today's system
- Will show which systems can own an object
- Will come with the industry code lists loaded
LEIDAR requires VIT: your own systems are VIT's part, the industry landscape is LEIDAR's.
What we do not cover: LEIDAR is to show what exists, not choose for you: no recommendation, no pricing.

How it works
LEIDAR builds on VIT, adding Tvimenning's own accumulated industry knowledge about which systems and vendors exist in the Norwegian and Nordic energy sector. Where VIT answers what a company itself has, LEIDAR answers "What else exists in the industry, and does it fit us?"
The functions in detail
- IT4IT capability map
- The capability map for the domain is to be in place from the start, structured on the IT4IT reference model.
- Nine domains
- DSO, hydropower, wind power, solar, hydrogen, power supply, retail, district heating and use of energy data.
- Known applications
- For each capability, the applications known in the sector are to be listed by name.
- Replacement map
- The map is to show which products can stand in for each other, for example which MDM alternatives exist for a given system.
- Modernisation planning
- The basis for planning a replacement is to be in place before a migration starts, not gathered along the way.
- Domain object ownership
- Which systems can own a domain object is to be visualised, so the choice of who holds master data is made and not inherited.
- Content from the sector
- The reference base is to be built from work done in the energy sector, not from a generic industry template, and to grow more precise as it is used.
The status, explained
- In design
- Under construction. We would gladly shape it around your needs.
Works together with
- VIT
- Application overview built for the energy sector - criticality, preparedness and Elhub roles built in.
