The information technology departments of energy companies have borne their share of these cost containment activities. Companies such as Shell have turned their IT organisations into profit centers, while others such as BP have opted for outsourcing these functions. But whatever the IT strategy employed, oil and gas and utility companies have come to realise the data tied up in their ERP and other operational systems is a corporate asset, and data warehousing is the IT infrastructure that enables this asset to become a competitive advantage.
Energy Data Storage 2010 forms a platform for the energy sector as a whole to discuss and compare their unique digital data storage needs. It will also incorporate associated issues surrounding business continuity and information security and how these all form a part of consolidating your data storage strategy.
