Landmark Extends Integration to the DecisionSpace® Environment
Using OpenSpirit Data and Application Integration Solution HOUSTON, Texas – June 13, 2007 – Landmark, a brand of Halliburton's
(NYSE: HAL) Digital and Consulting Solutions division, today announced
that it is developing a data-access adapter that uses the OpenSpirit®
integration framework to connect the company’s DecisionSpace®
environment to OpenSpirit-enabled data stores. The
adapter will allow many of Landmark’s software products to update, read
and delete data from third-party data sources, including GeoFrame®,
Finder®, PPDM™, Recall™, KINGDOM™, SDE™
and Petra® applications. It expects to offer the adapter in late 2007. The
OpenSpirit-enabled application adapter will serve as a complement to the
DecisionSpace environment’s existing integration benefits –
extending connectivity to other vendors’ data stores by allowing
DecisionSpace to interface through the OpenSpirit integration framework. The
DecisionSpace environment allows Landmark’s customers to run a variety
of applications and databases side-by-side. The environment’s powerful
interoperability is tied to its data-access layer, which fluidly
interconnects Landmark’s applications and databases. This provides a number of
benefits to E&P companies, including accelerated workflows, shortened
cycle times and enhanced production. The OpenSpirit integration
framework is a vendor-neutral integration solution that allows disparate
vendors’ applications and data stores to work together, providing
geoscientists and data managers with out-of-the-box access to applications
and data that are integral to the E&P decision-making process. Landmark
is developing the OpenSpirit adapter in response to the E&P
industry’s demand for open-standards software tools that can connect
disparate systems. “At
Landmark, we understand that our customers’ environments are comprised
of solutions from multiple vendors,” said Doug Meikle, vice president, Landmark. “By adding the OpenSpirit
framework to the mix, we can help them preserve their IT investments and
extract additional value from their existing data sources. It’s a big
advantage when it comes to multi-vendor integration and openness.” “The
DecisionSpace environment excels at interoperability between
multi-disciplinary Landmark applications and data stores, as well as
integration with clients’ in-house geotechnical environments,”
said Dan Piette, president and chief executive officer, OpenSpirit. “The
OpenSpirit framework will help DecisionSpace application users better manage
their complex workflows with the added flexibility to reach out to the other
well, seismic, GIS and interpretation data stores that are in play within
their organization.” About OpenSpirit The OpenSpirit Corporation, based in About Landmark Landmark,
