When data and insights are easily available, employees make better and faster decisions, based on data they can trust.

The need for data
To manage offshore investments, asset managers need data. Data is generated and stored in various sources and business systems, both internally and externally. Getting access to data from different systems is often time-consuming and relies on manual processes. As a result, it is difficult to get a complete overview of an offshore field.
Asset managers need:
• Financial data such as investments and operating costs
• HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment & Quality) data
• Operations data covering production and sales
• ...and all this combined with budget numbers.
