2.0

摘要

Technology,expressed as a blizzard of software packages,iPad apps and Internet of Things(IoT) connectivity,is the talk of the midstream nowadays.But are the sector's operators making the fullest use of all that technology offers them? Too often,probably not.Many times,all that fancy,gee-whiz stuff arrives as bolt-on/duct-taped/jury-rigged additions to existing organizations and technology systems and really don't change all that much.File folders change names,links move on computer screens and graph lines change color.Rather,too often,differing software actually may impede,rather than improve,operations as employees struggle to adapt.Instead,"we are fundamentally changing the way our industry approaches people,processes and technology,”Wouter van Kempen,chairman,president and CEO of DCP Midstream,told Midstream Business.The Denver-based firm,ranked No.15 on the Midstream 50,is investing millions of dollars and thousands of staff hours in a ground-up digital transformation it calls DCP 2.0.
