360° Catalyst is a defined development program designed to deliver a search-driven mashup prototype based on Stonebridge’s proven 360° Solution Framework. Using your company’s data and organized around your business’ core asset, a 360° Catalyst engagement offers a low-risk / high-reward way to demonstrate the applicability of a 360° application in your organization.
Addressing the Problem from a Business Perspective
Very few enterprises suffer from a lack of business applications. Even fewer suffer from a lack of data. But why is it that so much of business people’s time is spent working around these software products and looking for information they can’t seem to find?
While the questions information workers need answers to appear simple on the surface – Who? What? When? Where? Why? – finding quick answers is complicated by the reality of corporate IT: servers, software, databases, distance, accessibility, organizational silos, issues of data integrity, and more.
The 360° Solution Framework simplifies today’s complex, interdependent environment. It breaks down the business into its key elements so that data and processes are organized around things the entire company can relate to.
Getting Started
The 360° Catalyst program provides a low-risk introduction to this new approach for solving these problems. Utilizing the Stonebridge 360° solution framework, information is delivered logically, centered on a key asset that drives the business – a well, a pipeline segment, a plant, a rig. With the asset at the core of the data management methodology, information from various internal and external sources is combined into a common interface.
Powered by a combination of visualization, search, workflow automation, and map technologies, a 360°-based application allows employees from across skill levels to answer key questions via a simple interface. Equally important, the framework leverages existing data and technical components (i.e., Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft SQL Server, ESRI ArcGIS Server) present in many environments already, and extends those investments through innovative design approaches.
360° Catalyst provides your company a low-risk / high-visibility way to determine the value of 360’s asset-centric approach to data management and delivery. Using your data and defined by your business’ core asset, Stonebridge works with your team to develop a working prototype to demonstrate the productivity-enhancing benefits of a 360° application. Your information workers can “test drive” the power of this approach as a means of determining its potential impact on the enterprise.
