Overview
This IDC Energy Insights report examines the receptivity of the oil and gas industry to the use of cloud services. It is intended to provide guidance to CIOs, CTOs, and exploration and production business leaders in evaluating cloud services as an alternative to capital investment in IT infrastructure in-house. IDC Energy Insights presents up and coming use cases for cloud in the oil and gas industry and guidance on how to approach development of a cloud strategy.
"There has been an uptick in adoption of cloud services by oil and gas companies in the last year," according to Jill Feblowitz, vice president, Worldwide Oil and Gas IT Strategies. "As cloud suppliers are able to overcome barriers such as the need for security, high availability, and bandwidth, we expect to see cloud go beyond IT management such as data storage to services for unconventional resources and collaboration supporting oil field development and production. This is a good time for oil and gas companies to develop an enterprise cloud strategy."
