Microsoft Online Services Customer Story: British Petroleum
Overview For BP, time was of the essence in ensuring the safety of its facilities and 1,500 employees in its Gulf of Mexico Strategic Performance Unit. It is responsible for a complex mix of assets that includes eight deep-water oil production and drilling platforms that feed thousands of miles of pipelines and more than 100 fuel terminals and offices. When Hurricane Katrina struck, BP needed quick access to accurate storm information and a complete understanding of its people and facilities. After Hurricane Katrina, BP decided to implement the Hurricane Management System that combines the 3-D satellite imagery of Microsoft Virtual Earth mapping software and real-time weather data with a visual, real-life representation of both BP's people and facilities.
