The Oil & Gas business is complex, not only in its processes but also in its business relationships. Every project involves numerous companies, each of which has a stake in the outcome and a responsibility to fulfill their designated role. In field operations, there is no better example than the relationship between the “operator” and the numerous interest owners with a vested interest in the well.
For this scenario and others, Stonebridge delivers our Business Partner Portal (BPP) solution accelerator, leveraging the Microsoft SharePoint platform as a means for publishing and delivering secured access to partner documents.
Within BPP, the following functions are available to the business partners of your designation, to the degree of security so desired.
- Online access to published documents for only permitted wells / projects.
- Historical archive of documents posted over time.
- Enterprise search across assets and documents using document contents and metadata tags, including Stonebridge-developed “Zip & Download” functionality.
- Individual logins providing the option for notifications when new information is posted or updated in the portal.
- Optional delivery of business intelligence views of performance for the asset.
By posting this information in a secured environment such as BPP, your company has the potential to:
- Improve business relationships with operating partners.
- Eliminate thousands of e-mails and attachments sent per week to partner contacts each week.
- Reduce exposure of sensitive company information.
- Consolidate contact information for business associates.
- Gain efficiency with “publish once, consume many times” approach.
- Redirect resources to more important tasks.
