Event overview
Unlocking value by optimal utilization of material and equipment, handling variations due to unpredictable business cycles, effective workforce management, better quote to cash processing and better visibility of business parameters coupled with greater insights are the key tenets around which digital transformation is happening in the oil field services industry.
One of the largest providers of pressure pumping and oil field services for the petroleum industry (BJ Services) leveraged end-to-end Microsoft technology stack to enable exponential business growth with ‘Elastic IT’. This unique model was designed to provide elastic IT cost and capability to our client based on market cycles, ramping up and down based on employee consumption of service.
