In today's business world every single
executive is struggling to implement
their key transformation projects
effectively. Oil and gas execs are no
different. In fact the challenges they
face in keeping ahead of digital
transformation is fraught with legacy
and generational issues but at our
recent GDS Next Generation Oil and Gas
Technology Summit in Austin Jim Claunch
the Vice President of Operations
Excellence at Statoil was looking for a
solution in the convergence of IT with
OT. Listen to how he solved that problem at our
summit. One of the challenges we've had
is the convergence of IT and OT. We've
had issues so in meeting with Devon and
with Concho Resources they've kind of
cracked the code in a good way of how you
govern IT and OT together and they
remain kind of separate that you provide
the same security you get clarity on
roles and responsibilities and even them
willing to share policies and procedures
and how they've documented it and the
whole nine yards, I had a meeting this
morning ahead of the conference and the
guy that runs operation and maintenance
when I shared that with him of course
he's wide open to that idea of getting
his guys in OT and my guys in IT
together with a document and a way of
working that is proven. So I mean that is
a very real-life example that has helped
me solve an issue that was on our plate
and it happened here. Stay tuned as we
continue to follow Statoils
transformation journey and you can learn
more on our website about our Next
Generation Oil and Gas Summit in
November.
