PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL DATA INTEGRATION

COMPLETE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL DATA INTEGRATION

OKEA and Cegal have selected iO Data as their trusted partner for physical storage of data related to the fields and licenses in OKEA’s portfolio.

In addition, the indexed physical data and the digital data provided by Cegal will be available for OKEA’s end users in iO Surface and iO Archive accessed via Cegal’s Cloud Portal.

iO Data is responsible for secure storage of the physical assets related to the Draugen field, operated by OKEA. This includes seismic and well data on tapes, reports, original logs, core samples, frozen cores, pictures, videos and so on.

These data will be indexed into the new Records Management tool iO Archive where it is searchable, traceable and ready to be ordered. iO Surface will be used as a map-based front-end application to allocate all data. It will contain seismic data, well data, cores (including pictures of the cores), fluid samples, logs, reports, subsea and topside inspection videos from ROV’s and drones. The videos can be displayed directly in the map viewer. Furthermore, iO Surface will show the NPD and DISKOS data as separate layers in the front-end. Seismic data and other digital data provided by Cegal will be included and are searchable.

This means that the user will have all data from all sources available through one map interface, use predefined or customized filters and find information about where the data is stored. For the subsurface personnel, this represents an improved and efficient way of working with complex data, without having to search through several interfaces and different locations.

iO Data software will be fully integrated with GeoCloud, Cegal’s cloud solution for E&P. GeoCloud delivers high-performance IT systems and software solutions for advanced geoscience applications and data. Both iO Data applications will be available from Cegal’s Cloud Portal.

In addition to indexing, the capture of physical data is done using pictures. This puts OKEA in a unique and favorable position, being prepared for AI and Machine Learning on all their physical assets.

With the current focus on digitalization, we are pleased that OKEA and Cegal acknowledge the potential in iO Data and their application integration to GeoCloud and chose iO Data as a trusted partner on this digital journey. We are pleased to be working together to present this state-of-the-art database taking advantage of the current digital benefits and those to come.

Cegal will be presenting this solution to the industry on the DigEx Conference in Oslo, 31st of January 2019

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING YOUR STAFF

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING YOUR STAFF

HOW CAN TRAINING OF EMPLOYEES IN THE AREA OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT SAVE YOUR COMPANY’S REPUTATION?

In 2016 I made a quite intensive study into this topic as part of my MSc in Records & Information Management. Reading through my papers again I clearly see that my findings are still relevant today.

There are still companies neglecting the training of employees in the area of Records Management. Few companies have a strategic plan when it comes to training. Risk analysis in the field of Records Management turns out to be performed on a limited level across organizations.

Escalating risks of events creating a loss of data, legal fines, loss of shareholder confidence, damaging publicity, rising costs, and lost productivity are only some of the concerns and threats out there. In today’s heavily regulated business environment, organizations must start to proactively provide training for their employees to avoid all these concerns and pitfalls we have today.

Companies should be concerned about legal and regulatory obligations, to be able to meet these and safeguard against potential breaches against corporate security. A Program for training of employees in both new and updated procedures, laws and regulations and best practices related to Records Management must be made, and regularly carried out. Laws and legislation are changing in a rapid phase, and new ways of doing things are adopted, and the risks by not perform training or risk analysis increases.

To be prepared and to continuously improve skills are vital if you want your company and employees to be one step ahead. Know the laws and regulations in your environment, be an excellent example for other companies and be productive and precise in what you do is essential. This is an effective way of working and brings significant benefits to your business.

I know that these are topics discussed in many companies these days and I hope that their strategies will be put to life!

HVA ER DET DIGITALE TRUSSELBILDET I DAG?

Digitale trusselbildet

HVA ER DET DIGITALE TRUSSELBILDET I DAG?

Alle ansatte i iO Data gjennomgår i disse dager Norsk Sikkerhetsråd (NSR.no) sitt kurs i digital sikkerhet som er basert på PST sin trusselvurdering for 2019.

Tema er blant annet det komplekse trusselbildet vi må forholde oss til i dag, eksempelvis «Hybride Trusler».

Hybride trusler kan være:

  • falske nyheter
  • jamming av GPS-signaler
  • cyberangrep av ulike slag
  • spionasje og innsidere

    De kan opptre samtidig, sekvensielt, alene, eller i kombinasjon med andre trusler. Høres det forvirrende ut? Det å skape forvirring kan faktisk være et mål i seg selv.

    Vi mennesker har alltid brukt nyvinninger til å skaffe oss et overtak over «de andre». I dag har vi så avansert teknologi - tenk bare på kunstig intelligens - at blodige slag (heldigvis) blir stadig sjeldnere i maktkampen.

    Samtidig er «fredstid» et relativt begrep. Aktørene bak hybride trusler har gjerne et større mål om å destabilisere eller påvirke:
  • manipulere valg
  • splitte opinion
  • utnytte sårbarheter i samfunn eller bedrifter
  • innhente informasjon (etterretning) påvirke økonomi

    Nordområdene og olje- og gassvirksomheten er to viktige faktorer som gjør Norge som nasjon - og norske næringslivsaktører - til interessante mål.

    Ifølge PSTs trusselvurdering vil det blir mer rekruttering av hemmelige kilder, fortsatt bruk av nettverksoperasjoner og flere forsøk på å påvirke aktører innen forsvar, beredskap og forvaltning.

    I dagens samfunn henger alt sammen med alt. Vi kan dessverre bare anta at et angrep bare rammer «de andre».

    Det å sikre selskapenes informasjon på korrekt måte er viktig, ikke minst med tanke på industrispionasje og for å sørge for at informasjon ikke havner på avveie eller i gale hender. Å sørge for at du opererer i henhold til de anbefalinger, retningslinjer og lover som til enhver tid er gjeldende er viktig for alle bedrifter i dag.

    Du kan lese PST sin trusselvurdering her!

    Ønsker du en gjennomgang av din bedrift og hvordan du forvalter og sikrer din informasjon? Ta kontakt med iO Data for en uforpliktende prat.

    PRESSEMELDING

    IO DATA VIL DIGITALISERE NORGE

    Nyoppstartet bedrift i Sandnes skal gjennom innovasjon gjøre det enklere og rimeligere å sikre bedrifters informasjon. I dag går for mye tapt fordi det er for dyrt å gjøre noe med det. Det brukes for mye ressurser på å gjenfinne og digitalisere, samtidig som produksjon av ny informasjon vokser dramatisk. Fremtiden er digital og løsningene er allerede her. iO Data vil hjelpe norske bedrifter til å realisere verdien i all informasjonen de har.

    iO Data er startet av fem lokale gründere som sammen har 60 års erfaring fra informasjonsforvaltning. «-Vi tror alle tjener på at det er reell konkurranse i markedet. Det gir fornuftige priser og driver innovasjon. Fremtiden er digital og vårt fokus er å gi våre kunder et kvantesteg i riktig retning!», sier daglig leder Andreas Heldal-Lund.

    Ved å automatisere prosesser vil vi tilgjengeliggjøre og samtidig øke verdien av kundens data. Mye data fra eksempelvis norsk kontinentalsokkel ligger fremdeles dårlig registrert på gammelt media. Mye data kan være i ferd med å gå tapt fordi teknologi og kunnskap forsvinner, det ønsker iO Data å gjøre noe med på en kostnadseffektiv og innovativ måte.

    iO Data hjelper bedrifter over i sikre skyløsninger, digitaliserer og indekserer ustrukturert informasjon. Og alt gjøres enkelt tilgjengelig gjennom nettleser og mobiltelefonen. «-Vi fjerner bekymring for at informasjon går tapt og sparer kost uten store investeringer»,legger Heldal-Lund til.

    Med fokus på sikkerhet og kvalitet tilbyr iO Data også tjenester innen konvertering av data mellom datasystemer og informasjonsbærere –som magnetbånd og harddisker. Bedrifters evne til å omfavne digitalisering i de neste årene vil oppleve kvantesprang i effektivisering og konkurransefortrinn. Beregninger sier at operasjonelle kostnader forventes redusert med 3,6% og effektiviteten vil øke med 4,1% årlig for bedrifter som greier denne omstillingen.
