The Oil and Gas industry plays an indispensible role in facilitating business across various verticals with timely and adequate resources. Volatile market conditions, economic downswing, and increasing costs inadvertently persist as imminent challenges in the oil and gas sector. In recent times, there is a surging incidence of oil and gas companies deploying technology and software solutions such as cloud computing, virtualization applications, database services and tools for intelligent repair and monitoring. Furthermore, these solutions not just cater to the transient needs of the organizations but, also help them adhere to government regulations, reduce pollution and wastage that damage environment and human health, conserve resources and operational expenditure.
