Traditional data access methods depend on fragmented systems, outdated databases, and manual data transfers — all of which hold companies back. These limitations result in delayed decision-making, inefficiencies, and potential compliance risks. In response, GDM has launched a cloud-based, real-time data access solution that eliminates these barriers.
The new initiative included providing two Canadian energy companies with early access to GDM content via Snowflake and has demonstrated the transformative impact of real-time, scalable cloud access to enriched information.
Over the course of 3 months, GDM worked with Veren and Ember Resources to document how this shift in data access impacted operations and decision making, creating the base of our white paper, which explores:
- The key challenges facing energy data management
- How a cloud-based solution solves these challenges
- Why cloud-based access is a critical industry development
- How two companies are using this solution to improve operations and decision-making
- The future of cloud-based energy infrastructure data
One company immediately noticed improvements where performance dramatically changed from hours to seconds, while another discovered more time to focus on improving how they work. For organizations that rely on on-premises systems, manual processes, and outdated data refreshes, these case studies highlight the risks of inaction and the advantages of a cloud-first approach.
GDM’s approach in creating solutions is that when one company benefits from improved data access, the ripple effect extends to its peers, creating a stronger, more efficient energy sector for everyone.
