Harnessing Geospatial Analytics Requires Adopting New SOPs.
Précis
- Problem: New tech requires new procedures.
- Solution: Learn from early adopters.
- Benefit: Easier path to adoption.
Let’s have a straight talk…
We have many wildly successful customers. Many are willing to share their story with others (ask us… we’ll broker the discussion). Unfortunately, there are also a few who have not experienced success in adopting geospatial analytics to monitor their infrastructure. What determines the difference?
We find, almost universally, that customers willing to redefine their long-held, traditional standard operating procedures (SOPs) are the ones who enjoy great success. Think about it – one doesn’t buy an electric vehicle and then have a farrier apply horseshoes to it in the horse barn. With new technology comes new opportunities for efficiency and speed, but also a need for new procedures.
In the realm of methane emissions measurement, we are fortunate to have several big customers worldwide who willingly and boldly tell their success stories. These stories invariably include a chapter on their initial hiccups when field teams tried to do things the way they’ve always been done. Duke Energy has presented publicly dozens of times about the lessons it learned and the success it achieved only after redefining its SOPs.
The same is true in the realm of pipeline and wellsite liquid leak detection. One of our largest oil & gas customers forced a major overhaul of its SOPs after growing tired of missing liquid leaks that turned into disasters requiring extensive and costly remediation. This customer frequently speaks one-on-one with peers about the success they achieved only after adapting SOPs to harness the power of geospatial analytics. They, too, stumbled a few times before finding the right adjustments.
The point is that new technology results in new procedures to achieve dramatic gains to your bottom line, your environmental record, and the safety of your expert staff. Our Professional Services team of scientists can help you make this transition easier.
Many of our customers are touting the dramatic improvements they’ve achieved by adopting geospatial analytics to tightly focus their experts where their expertise is needed. Let us connect you with those who are adopting the future today. They’ll willingly tell their story. You’ll be the beneficiary of their thought leadership, and you’ll put your horseshoes away.
