Seadrill is the leading offshore driller operating globally.
We have a workforce around 6,000
people, with a fleet of around 68 rigs.
They are technologically advanced and very modern.
Each of our rigs generate volumes
and volumes of data.
And being able to access that data,
to be able to predict failures of equipment,
to be able to optimise the 
performance of that equipment
and of course the performance of the rig itself.
That in itself is a game changer.
To be able to make the right predictions effectively.
To be able to produce performance data
through interactive dashboards
that's real time, instead of a thirty to forty days old.
It allows us to go into negotiations with customers
and clearly demonstrate that our rig
is outperforming our competitors rig,
because we actually have the data available now.
We are using the Microsoft's Azure Cloud
to develop the right algorithms
to predict anomalies
and to also learn from those anomalies.
All of those capabilities are built into Microsoft Azure.
We are using Azure Machine Learning
for our inventory optimisation.
And this is a capability that's
gone live on six of our rigs.
It recommends what our stock
levels should be on our rigs.
We are predicting and learning
to be able to reduce our costs.
We can drill in now and see how
much is going to inventory,
versus planned maintenance
or corrective maintenance.
It's giving us transparency to see
are we spending the money correctly
and then reduce total spend.
Another component of our digital
platform relies on having
good business intelligence and advanced analytics.
We use Power BI and Microsoft's Data
Warehouse technologies, to be able to
bring together sources of data from 
various systems together
and being able to turn those data
into actionable insight for us.
Our safety agenda and operations agenda
and our people agenda and our financial agenda.
And being able to make the right 
decisions is a competitive edge.
The technologies that Microsoft provides 
is core to many elements
of our digital transformation program.
So if I look at the range from Office 365
to Skype for Business,
to Power BI to Microsoft sequel Data Warehouses, to Azure.
There are many elements of Microsoft's 
technologies used in our digital platform.
The scale and the scope of Microsoft technologies
fits well with the agenda that we have.
I am very fortunate to be in this industry,
working for this company, at this time.
And the challenges of the industry and advancements
that's happening in Microsoft technologies,
all of them are great recipes of 
making great things happen.
So I'm really excited about this.
