White Paper: How cloud access to data is transforming energy operations

Data Cloud Access

GDM has recently published a white paper titled A Critical Shift from Data Silos to Smart Decisions, focusing on how cloud access to data is transforming energy operations.

In the paper, we discuss how the energy sector relies on vast amounts of infrastructure and operational data to monitor assets, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage operational risks.  

However, traditional data access methods depend on fragmented systems, outdated databases, and manual data transfers — all of which hold companies back. These limitations result in delayed decision-making, inefficiencies, and potential compliance risks.

In response, GDM has launched a real-time cloud access to data solution that eliminates these barriers. GDM now enables companies to seamlessly integrate GDM content into their internal systems by leveraging Snowflake, a leading cloud-based data analytics and storage platform. The new initiative to provide two energy companies with early access to GDM content via Snowflake has demonstrated the transformative impact of real-time, scalable cloud access to enriched information.

Access to GDM’s energy infrastructure data via a cloud-based platform ensures:

  • Secure, traceable data access with audit logs
  • Proprietary risk data integration for enhanced compliance
  • Automated updates to prevent regulatory discrepancies

“With the Converge Data Store, teams can use data platforms like Snowflake to access information from one centralized location. Instead of making copies and sharing files manually, they can access the most current data in real time, eliminating delays and reducing human error,” says Marc Lehmann, Vice President Business Services at GDM.
