PARTNER PROFILE
PointCross is a global provider of advanced strategic business solutions delivered on its Orchestra platform to knowledge-intensive markets, including the Oil & Gas industry.  The PointCross IEPS (Integrated Exploration and Production Suite) suite of solutions focuses on specific processes within the E&P industry. The PointCross technology solution sets enable enterprises to manage data, information, and knowledge in a unified way, and streamline their flow through logical business networks within and across enterprise boundaries in a highly secured fashion.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
E&P professionals, like geologists and geophysicists, are required to decide where, and how, to invest huge amounts of money into properties without any certainty of the outcome.  The decisions related to exploration or exploitation, or the acquisition or divestiture of properties, must be made with significantly less than perfect knowledge. This is a game of skillful gambles; decisions result in very high losses or rewards. Knowledge gained from each decision result is valuable and forms the basis of every succeeding decision. E&P decisions cover the entire range from strategic to tactical planning and forecasting, to capital allocations; and to operations, reporting or health safety and environment related filed activities. Access to critical G&G data is fundamental to building this E&P knowledgebase. Technical data and subsurface data stores can be very fragmented and disconnected, making it difficult for oil companies to have a uniform aggregation of relevant data and a transparent view of the subsurface.

BENEFITS
Through the PointCross OpenSpirit Application Adapter, its applications connect to OpenSpirit and access critical G&G data from industry leading data stores leveraging OpenSpirit Data Connectors. In addition to this improved data access, key user application interactions will be shared with additional OpenSpirit-enabled applications, Data Management or GIS Integration Utilities. This unique combination provides an upstream data services architecture that harvests metadata, associated taxonomies, and enables enterprise-wide G&G technical search.
