Advantages of BYOD in the Oil and Gas Enterprise

It is no secret that mobility is finding its way into many industries’ IT structures. This creates an entirely new aspect of business that will exalt your enterprise amongst the best - in the form of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). By using the migration of smartphones and tablets in the workplace, enterprises will be able to capture field data which will allow an immediate response from field operations.

Mobility in the Field

Without smartphones and tablets, oil and gas employees in the field are stuck with the outdated version of data capture involving a notepad and pen. Implementing a custom built mobile app and allowing employees to log field data through a centralized platform will streamline real-time information. Many companies are seeing the benefits of real-time data capture through a mobile solution where information is virtually available to everyone in the company.

Real-Time Response

Now that you no longer have to wait for a phone call, or for your field workers to get back to the office, your employees will be able to make immediate decisions based on updated information. Real-time data streamlines the business process by accelerating communication, decision making, and furthermore creating a more cost-effective production strategy leading to an improved ROI.

Streamlining your business process is just one of many advantages to BYOD in your Oil and Gas Enterprise. For this reason alone, many large oil companies in the upper echelon have seen a great return on investment. Mobility has served as a catalyst to enterprises who have adopted a mobile solution, ultimately improving IT functionality and driving profits.
