IEPS-GARS-Geophysical Data Acquisition Project Tracking
Business challenges that we address
The Geophysical Operations Groups (GOG) are looking to implement an automated, accurate and efficient GARS system that will enable key stakeholders to conduct their activities in a much more efficient manner, such as:
- Standardized processes and report content across customer's globally dispersed, projects and teams.
- Fast, Secure and easily accessible work environment regardless of where personnel are: Field, Office, home, etc.
- Manage and Monitor data, reports, learning's and personnel throughout the geophysical data acquisition lifecycle.
- Create a trusted source of live data for future projects, thereby capturing the knowledge of the organization within the system.
- Increased efficiency, productivity and cost reductions for Customer.
- Enhance Participation-Collaboration-Communication & Learning, with internal and external stakeholders.
Approach to achieve the Targeted objectives
- The key components enabled and automated by the GARS system implementation were:
- Provide field contractors with online web based and Solo/Exc
- Ability for client-rep to communicate with field contractors to validate submitted reports, or ask for additional information via automated workflows
- Projects-driven dashboards for GOG to get a consolidated view across all data acquisition projects – viewed geographically, by type, or other pre-defined criteria.
- Daily activity report approval capabilities for GOG
- Provide exploration/exploitation managers, and other relevant stakeholders with online reporting dashboards, with the ability to drilldown to activity details published by GOG.
- Automatic Data collection and consolidation: Enabled automated workflow and alerting controls to facilitate routine or on-demand data updates for individual projects by managers or other authorized personnel. Workflow and forms were setup to provide guidance to submitters as to which specific data fields required updates.
- User and Information Security Setup: Allowing appropriate stakeholders to represent the GOG people organization model and map people to relevant roles, responsibilities and projects/contexts based on a need-to-know basis.
- Access to in-process and historical data
- Reduce costs by managing multiple regulatory requirements with the enterprise Orchestra™ platform
- Safeguard brand and reputation through information reliability and data protection using the smart sync Solo™ desktop client.
- Transform uncertainty into opportunity with visibility to key risk and performance indicators
- Filter System: Provided capabilities to sort, filter, rank, prioritize and search projects and related data using online dashboards.
