Technological innovation, as we have all heard, is taking over the world. There is no exception to that rule in the oil and gas industry too. In digital oil fields, instruments constantly read data on drilling rig conditions and mechanical systems. The information is then evaluated by clusters of computers, which feed results to real-time operation centers that regulate oil flows to minimize downtimes and optimize production.
Companies in the oil and gas industry are facing major challenges in terms of globalization and connectivity.
Today, you don’t need to be a multi-national corporation to have overseas operations and locations, which is especially relevant in oil and gas industry. Globalization has changed the flow of products and goods, expanded sales teams, and aggrandized customer base. Therefore, it has become crucial to devise a technology platform for customers, internal users, and partners to access operations from anywhere in the world, at any time. We live in the age of the ‘now’ customer; who demands quick response times and is well informed. The only way to keep up with customers is to leverage automated platforms and tools that provide control over the entire customer interaction lifecycle, from inquiry to order to fulfillment.
