Customer Challenges

Many businessess in the Oil & Gas industry have difficulty resourcing and staffing pipeline control centers with skilled Pipeline Operators and SCADA engineers who not only continuously monitor pipeline operations 24x7x365, but also monitor for equipment fatigue and cybersecurity intrusion detection. In addition, Pipeline operators need to maintain CRM compliance with federal regulations and ensure operational redundancy against natural disasters.
