The importance of energy infrastructure management has steadily climbed as the Canadian energy industry landscape evolves over time. Until recent years, few solutions were available to those working in this part of the industry, but the development of new technology has caught up and better alternatives are now available.
For example, legacy systems provide basic functionality needed to manage IMPs, but they come at a high cost with little return on investment. They also access problematic, public data meaning the analytical tools they provide, no matter how technical, do not necessarily provide the best outcomes from which to base critical business decisions.
GDM understands that you’re only as good as the data you use, and if your analysis is based on problematic data, chances are you will have problematic results. The same runs true for legacy technology that lacks the transparency and flexibility needed by the industry today.
Use the comparison chart below to see how GDM compares to alternative systems. Although it’s more comfortable to keep your current system in place, you will save on the cost of ongoing investment and maintenance by making the switch to GDM.
