Compliance

The term "Compliance" defines a level of conformance between a database or software product and the published PPDM standards.

High confidence in the implementation of PPDM standards:

1. limits a product's business risk by employing standard data definitions that have broad acceptance in the marketplace
2. minimizes expense and errors in data acquisition, usage and maintenance
3. leverages the accumulated knowledge of business processes
4. provides a mechanism for energy companies to objectively determine how different products might be compatible with their database implementation
5. helps to focus product developers and customers on the functional added-value features in products, rather than on basic "commodity" components

A "PPDM Compliant" classification of products is therefore a positive and business-driven attribute for energy companies and their software suppliers.
