AVEVA announces Owner Operator Round Table event in Calgary

Calgary, AB – 30 September 2013: AVEVA announced today the next in its series of Round Table sessions for Owner Operators in the Oil & Gas and Power industries. The events will take place at the Calgary Petroleum Club on October 2^nd and 3rd, 2013. With a theme of ‘Crossing the Information Chasm – Master Data’, these Round Table events will be an opportunity for owner operators to come together and share their experiences of Master Data. The session will focus on how correct and complete data is essential to enable safe and efficient plant operations and maintenance. Discussion will centre on how to gather, maintain and validate the master data used to support successful operations programs.

“Asset operations are incredibly complex and one of the core challenges is obtaining the right data from the many dispersed sources,” said William Muldoon, Executive Vice-President – North America, AVEVA. “Operations and maintenance depend upon reliable data, but often data can be incomplete, inconsistent or incorrect, which leads to significantly increased cost and risk. Understanding this challenge and detailing specific requirements and technology to overcome it, like AVEVA’s industry leading Information Management software, will enable Owners to manage, improve and sustain the quality of their data. This in turn will help them to make better-informed decisions that will reduce cost and risk.”
