OPPORTUNITY FOR OIL AND GAS COMPANIES

According to industry experts, there is a significant opportunity for companies in the Oil and Gas Industry to leverage information technology to improve and fulfill their business objectives.  While the digital oilfield is driving the integration of new and old technology, ith as resulted in new challenges for the industry.  Of course, the nearly exponential growth in data has been exacerbated by the global structure of oil and gas companies and the human capital challenge within the industry.

Executives and Line-of-Business professionals recognize the value in a holistic enterprise-wide solution, yet numerous impediments often hinder an organization's ability to accurately assess the undertaking's feasibility, rapidly make a decision and smoothly manage the deployment to successful completion. One thing is certain: success first starts with finding, capturing and managing an enormous amount of relevant content throug internal and often external work processes.

UFC, Inc. CAN HELP

The global nature of the document capture environment can be a significant road roadblock in the oil and gas industry. On one hand the centralized content manager server can be located in single geographically strategic location near the central management infrastructure making it a relatively easy to deploy and maintain. On the other hand the document capture requirements for the industry represent a challenge because of the widely separated locations of these locations. Capturing these documents and the time sensitive data contained within them, such as vendor shipping documents or employee expense records, represents a decentralized capture requirement. The nature of oil and gas exploration and production is global and field based. A successful deployment of a distributed document capture system to this wide geographical landscape has to rely on minimal systemic resources at the capture sight and extreme flexibility in the makeup of the document capture process.
