Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Aberdeen Treetops

Our May 29th Aberdeen event "Improving IT/IM infrastructure decisions looks at some of the latest developments to help manage IT and IM infrastructure better.


This event is for people who need to keep up to date with developments with digital technology in the oil and gas industry - and the latest methods to help you achieve more with less.

Highlights include:

A talk from George Ilko, Solutions Architect with ISN Solutions and former technical director of Deluxe Laboratories on what the oil and gas industry can learn from the movie industry. Deluxe Laboratories has developed special effects for feature film productions such as the Harry Potter, Batman and James Bond franchises. The movie industry manages to get all of its imaging experts to co-ordinate their work so well no-one notices where one person's work finishes and another person's work starts. Could the oil and gas industry do the same?

Peter Black, managing director of EnergySys, talks about his experiences so far helping oil and gas companies manage production allocation and reserves reporting on the cloud. What is the best way companies can integrate cloud computing into their existing IT infrastructure?

Neale Stidolph, business manager - energy with Amor Group, will talk about strategies for better oil and gas information management and system maintenance - to avoid security risks, comply with regulations and avoid financial costs.

Also - Dell SecureWorks on best practise with IT security.

This event is our annual meeting place for people in the Aberdeen oil and gas industry who work with IT infrastructure. If you think such an annual meeting is a good idea, and you would like to be part of it, please plan to attend.
