TopQuadrant’s TopBraid solutions enable customers to connect silos of data, metadata, systems and infrastructure to build flexible applications from linked data models. Computas is a leading solution provider for both the Norwegian government and the oil and gas industry including many of the foremost companies with significant operations on Norway’s Continental Shelf.
“We are now experiencing an increasing demand for semantic solutions to ensure an efficient and high-quality coupling of data across logical structures and technological limitations. Becoming a TopQuadrant partner fits into Computas’ goal of being a global player within Semantic Web Technology. The successful cooperation between TopQuadrant and Computas has already materialized in several contracts and joint opportunities in the European market,” stated Trond Eilertsen, CEO of Computas.
Recently, Computas announced that in partnership with TopQuadrant it has won a new contract with the Exploration & Production Information Management Association (EPIM). EPIM is a nonprofit organization owned and managed by operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Its objective is to provide IT solutions that facilitate the best possible information flow between industry players.
Computas is engaged to develop for EPIM a new EnvironmentHub solution using TopQuadrant capabilities and tools. EnvironmentHub will be used for reporting emissions to air, discharges to sea and radiation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) to the authorities. It will provide a flexible semantic web standards based platform for environmental reporting and data integration. EPIM is very familiar with TopQuadrant, which developed its ReportingHub system, a standards based information-exchange solution that utilizes semantic web standards to store, query and analyze exploration and production data.
“Computas exceeded stringent qualifications to become TopQuadrant’s first Global Certified TopBraid Solutions Partner. The Computas team is extremely skilled and well acquainted with TopBraid solutions along with how to best leverage them in deployed projects. Together, we look forward to more joint commercialization efforts similar to EPIM” stated Irene Polikoff, CEO of TopQuadrant.
