Data management is one of the biggest challenges facing our industry today. It's hard to manage what we have when we're constantly generating more. There are ton's of tools for capturing this data and probably even more when it comes to analyzing it - especially for Upstream. Vintri Tech is different in that they don't smash together a billion data points and eliminate anomalies that could be vital to the life and reliability of assets like pipelines. Their tech makes it easy for engineers to conduct a forensic audit and determine which data is correct and ultimately what's important.Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.
