Microsoft Global Energy Forum 2010
“Information Management at Southwestern Energy – Putting the Platform to Work”
Sponsored by Stonebridge
As a growing independent producer of natural gas, Southwestern Energy (SWN) maintains many different domains of information, each with its own challenges. To meet these diverse needs, Southwestern Energy leverages many aspects of the SharePoint platform. SWN devised the Partner Information Portal, a secure online application for delivering well-level information to operating partners. The application saves hundreds of man-hours per month through more efficient and more secure communications. What’s more, it represents a decidedly “green” approach to a traditionally paper-based business process.
SWN also utilized SharePoint to redefine its external web presence with the launch of the new www.swn.com. This site delivers multimedia, search and content management capabilities. SWN’s website is the centerpiece of a corporate branding initiative for a progressive energy company driven to succeed through innovation and creativity.
Additionally, each day SWN is identifying new and different ways to streamline its internal communication and collaboration through SharePoint. This includes its corporate intranet, electronic content management, business intelligence, and other information management activities. This discussion will address how these new capabilities have changed “daily life” at SWN for its IT and business communities, as well as the potential SharePoint holds for future improvements.
