Looking for a smarter way to optimize your digital resources?
Data is power - but only if you harness it effectively. This applies to all sectors of energy, from oil and gas to renewables, power, and utilities. From subsurface workflows and reservoir management to smart grid optimization and asset monitoring, energy companies generate vast amounts of data daily.
Accessing and making sense of this data is often hindered by fragmented IT infrastructures, disconnected storage solutions, and complex system architectures that make retrieval slow and inefficient. Critical insights become buried in scattered folders, outdated archives, and disorganized file structures, while rigid licensing constraints and siloed departmental setups create further roadblocks. These inefficiencies not only reduce transparency but also lead to unnecessary operational complexity and missed opportunities for optimization.
Cegal’s Cetegra changes this by being more than just a cloud-based digital hub for hosting and deploying applications and data; it’s a specialized business intelligence engine designed for the energy sector, transforming how companies manage resources, track software consumption, and extract value from their entire digital ecosystem.
The cost of complexity
Managing subsurface data, petrotechnical applications, and more generic business workflows has traditionally been a balancing act between technical efficiency and cost control.
Energy companies invest heavily in specialized software, high-performance computing, and cloud infrastructure, yet many struggle to answer a fundamental question: Are they using these resources efficiently?
Cloud consumption can present a major challenge, especially when data is stored in third-party systems, making it hard to track usage. This lack of visibility can lead to overspending on underutilized infrastructure, draining budgets, and slowing down operations.
With Cetegra, that question becomes easy to answer. The platform provides critical insights into software usage, compute consumption, and collaboration patterns, all while ensuring data remains securely within the user’s own tenant.
Instead of guessing how licences are utilized or where inefficiencies lie, Cetegra brings more clarity, empowering organizations to act swiftly, rationalize resources, adjust workflows, and scale operations efficiently.
Business insights that drive smarter decisions
1. Applications, license tracking, and management
How many licences are actually in use? Are teams paying for software they barely touch? Cetegra’s built-in tracking capabilities offer complete visibility into licence consumption, ensuring companies only pay for what they need. By identifying underutilized assets, businesses can reallocate resources, negotiate smarter contracts, and eliminate wasteful spending.
2. Optimizing cloud and compute resources
Energy workflows demand significant computing power, and provisioning too much or too little can be costly. Cetegra provides dynamic insights into compute usage, enabling companies to scale resources based on demand. No more overprovisioning expensive high-performance computing (HPC) environments — just the right amount of power, when and where it’s needed.
3. Data access and usage insights
With Cetegra, companies gain full visibility into who accesses what data, how often, and for what purpose. This helps decision-makers track project progress, ensure data governance, and maintain transparency across teams. By understanding data consumption patterns, organizations can refine their workflows and improve operational efficiency.
Streamlined collaboration with silos
Beyond tracking consumption, Cetegra redefines how teams interact with digital resources. Instead of working in isolation, teams can securely collaborate within a unified ecosystem, reducing delays caused by versioning conflicts, inaccessible datasets, or scattered communication.
As an illustration, BW Energy, an oil and gas operator, leverages Cetegra as a virtual workspace that enables remote teams to work simultaneously on projects, accessing data and software without disruption.
Cetegra provides the flexibility of a cloud-based solution, allowing team members to collaborate in real-time, regardless of their location, all while ensuring data security and efficient resource management.
Role-based permissions ensure that the right people have access to the right tools and information, improving both security and compliance. Manual overhead is reduced, and project delivery is accelerated by integrating existing tools and applications directly within Cetegra.
This unified approach has helped BW Energy achieve a 400% growth in its operations without adding additional IT headcount, showcasing the power of Cetegra to drive business efficiency while keeping operations streamlined and scalable.
