DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
The way businesses are conducted is changing because of digital transformation. Understanding the potential of our technology, or addressing the question, “What is our technology actually capable of, and how can we adjust our business and procedures to make the most of our technology investments?” is an important part of digital transformation.
Digital transformation is defined as the process of using digital technologies to create new — or modify existing — business processes, culture, and customer experiences.
The oil and gas industry is undergoing a digital transition that will have a multifaceted impact on the upstream sector as well as petroleum engineering. Companies have begun to invest in digital technologies such as Big Data, Analytics, Automation & AI, 3D printing, Internet of Things (IoT), and others in order to integrate IT with essential operational tasks such as production, maintenance, safety, and asset management.
