Stavanger
Norwegian Petroleum Museum

We invite you to register for our Stavanger forum on April 19th about how to make better decisions about your IT infrastructure - including managing software applications, networks, data architecture and data communications, maximising usability and security.

We have run events before on the same subject in London and Aberdeen, and run events in Stavanger about doing more with drilling data.

The oil and gas industry has a great deal of IT expertise - but also many complaints that systems are not as fast, or as easy to use as they should be. Does this mean that the systems should be better - or are users expecting corporate systems to be as fast and easy to use as the ones they have at home, where video applications need less data, security requirements are lower, and software development budgets per user are much higher?

Should IT managers be doing much more to monitor and improve performance quality and minimise downtime? Should it be easier to access heavy duty software applications, such as reservoir models, on a laptop when travelling?

We look forward to seeing you in Stavanger on April 19th.
