Challenged with rough market conditions, the Oil & Gas industry is bringing some new puzzle pieces into play and \u2013 voil\u00e1 \u2013 they fit together perfectly.<\/p>\n
Business Benefit from Big Data<\/strong><\/p>\n By nature, faced with complex and intensive data processes, Oil & Gas companies \u2013especially upstream exploration & production (E&P) \u2013 are using their myriad of data to strengthen their unique position. E&P organization are harnessing new technologies to increase productivity and efficiency across all business units, including challenging sub-surface data management. As reported by PwC in their 18th Annual CEO Survey<\/a>: \u201cNearly four-fifths of energy CEOs agree that digital technologies are creating value for their organizations when it comes to data analysis and operational efficiency.\u201d Improving and accelerating business insights from both existing and new data sources is important across all phases of this cyclical market.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Invest to be More Agile While Reducing Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n This underlines the IDC Energy Insights Report<\/a>: \u201cCIOs have their hands full, determining how to be more productive while reducing costs at the same time.\u201d And the report goes on to explain: \u00a0The number of mobile applications is growing rapidly along with moderate cloud growth as companies realize the value of rapid application development and deployment moving to the 3rd Platform. According to the report, another reason for building a solid IT foundation is to develop a big data and analytics platform on top of reliable systems to efficiently and effectively organize and manage critical data from multiple sources, for a deeper, holistic view and management of operations performance. The IDC report concludes that \u201cDespite cuts, investment in innovation continues as energy companies strive to be more agile, efficient, and productive while reducing costs. As a result, there is a trend toward acceptance of cloud, mobility, Internet of Things (IoT), analytics, advanced analytics, and cognitive with high expectations.\u201c<\/p>\n Azure Platform Improves Access while Reducing Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n So now, the puzzle pieces come together with pioneering companies like CGG<\/a>, a leading player in geoscience. CGG selected Microsoft Azure<\/a> as its new platform for lower cost and more flexible data storage and management services; a perfect fit for an industry that must reduce the complexity of managing their infrastructure, while improving agility and performance.<\/p>\n
