Collaboration: the cornerstone of digital transformation

摘要

The standardization of data formats helps increase connectivity between industry players. The digital transformation of the oil and gas industry will follow the same precepts that other industries have established, centered on three pillars: data, analytics and connections. However, a review of the major themes of publications and events covering this digital transformation shows a strong focus on data and analytics and much less coverage of connectivity. This reflects the way the industry has historically managed IT and data - as something proprietary, with data connections only considered if needed to fulfill a specific purpose. In reality, many of the nonstrategic data acquired each day are of little or no value to an individual organization but highly relevant to a broader demographic.
