March 6- For many upstream energy companies, when specific departments require new software, IT is not consulted, leading to a lack of integration and data management strategy. With information management increasingly used as a key competitive differentiator in an industry where silos are the norm, a systems-level portfolio is essential. In order to keep up with changing industry standards, start by evaluating company-wide goals and assessing how to best create an integrated software portfolio either from what you have or what’s available.
During this lunch and learn, we will share specific strategies for building a systems portfolio that works for the long-term and enables the flow of information from department to department.
