Johan will discuss the importance of a common infrastructure to scale across large organizations. In such organizations, like Shell Group, the need for a clear target architecture and roadmaps to achieve it is always vital. At Shell, they take both historical and real-time data from all the oil rigs, pumps, refineries, valves and more and allow end users to create their own operational intelligence by modeling and visualizing the data to make it actionable. Johan will discuss how this is achieved throughout a global group of energy and petrochemical companies.
