Dashboard Web Applications

Pipeline applications are becoming more and more advanced offering more and more information to different groups of people within the pipeline companies. Todays software applications provide a wealth of information ranging from design to commercial information, with lots of operational information in between.

All this information can be overwhelming, so efficient data management and presentation is very important. Different groups of personnel needs different data and the timing requirements are quite different as well. For example, you need to know immediately if there is an integrity issue on the pipeline. Often you want to know ahead of time of any upcoming contract violations etc.

All this information can be tied together in a Dashboard application that allows each specific user to select exactly what data to show. This application can be accessed via the web and will show information from a wide range of applications. Basically only your imagination limits what information you can include here.

This dashboard is currently under development and you will soon be able to see a live demonstration of this. If you have any comments as to what type of data that should be included within the dashboard or how this should be presented, please feel free to post your comments.

Thanks,
