关于客户
Wings Travel Management is a company that specializes in oil and gas-related travel as well as full-service corporate travel. Founded in 1992, the company has carved an important niche in the managed travel market as a trusted travel provider for clients in the Oil & Gas and Marine sectors, as well as companies operating in service- and people-critical industries, where travel is an integral part of their business. At the heart of Wings’ offering is a business intelligence (BI) environment called goData that helps companies measure and improve the performance of their travel programs. By providing direct access to corporate travel data via a mobile-friendly, self-service analytic environment, travel managers extract valuable insights about traveler behavior, costs, and safety.
挑战
Wings Travel Management, a company specializing in oil and gas-related travel, faced the challenge of capturing travel data for clients operating across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and the Middle East and putting it in a form that they can use to monitor their travel programs. The company wanted to create customer-facing analytics portals along with a secure metadata layer that enables clients to visualize just their subset of the travel data via interactive charts, graphs, and maps. However, their previous analytical inquiries couldn’t prevent users from changing formulas that the IT team created, which meant similar inquiries sometimes yielded conflicting results. Managing the underlying data was also tedious as they had to manually control hundreds of individual queries and reports.
解决方案
Wings Travel Management decided to use Information Builders’ WebFOCUS BI and analytics platform to create a business intelligence (BI) environment called goData that helps companies measure and improve the performance of their travel programs. With support from InfoBuild South Africa, Wings developed six customer-facing analytics portals and an accompanying data management environment as the foundation of goData. An executive portal provides a high-level overview of each client’s corporate travel program. Other portals display supplier and traveler costs, track traveler activity, enforce ISO quality standards, and allow people to do their own analytics. Users review summaries of supplier activity, monitor corporate travel contracts, and employ historic travel data to negotiate better supplier agreements. Being able to visualize the information through InfoAppsTM helps them control spending and verify that travelers comply with advanced booking policies, lowest logical airfare protocols, and other compliance measures.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
