Raymond Levey, EGI
The Energy and Geoscience Institute (EGI) is a not-for-profit organization doing research for Corporate Associate Members in all parts of the globe. As part of its activities for the last 30 years EGI has developed a global database of Research Reports, along with associated seismic, log and well data. The Institute realized that it needed to improve the dissemination of the data and information it had collected to its 70 plus member companies in a manner they could easily and conveniently consume.
EGI decided that a GIS based system would be the best method to logically organize and deliver their data and research reports. After a review of potential companies, EGI chose to partner with petroWEB to develop the new system. Based upon petroWEB's recommendations, ArcGIS Server 9.3 was chosen as the GIS technology and Microsoft Silverlight 2 was used to provide a richer browser experience. Early reviews of the system have been overwhelmingly positive and provided EGI with new opportunities to serve its clients.
The talk is a case study illustrating how ArcGIS Server 9.3 and Silverlight were leveraged to deliver a compelling user experience to EGI's Corporate Associate Program members.
