13.2.1 Business Drivers and Benefits

By having a common data schema that provides comprehensive coverage of DTS data and all its potential uses we provide a mechanism by which different vendors and operating companies can integrate solutions seamlessly.

The main goal for this PRODML capability is to ensure that all the business requirements outlined by the participating oil companies and oil services companies are covered. This in turn will allow different companies create a number of products (for data transport, storage, management, analysis, etc.) that can integrate seamlessly, allowing mix-and-match hardware and software.
