BP Cuts Hours Off Emergency Response With Visual Solution That Tracks Threats to Assets
Overview Energy giant BP saved its employees when Hurricane Katrina struck, but the process of locating its people and material assets, and making decisions about their care, was time-consuming when every second counted. The company sought a better solution. That's what BP has now with its Hurricane Management System, which combines the 3-D satellite imagery of Microsoft Virtual Earth mapping software and real-time weather data with a visual representation of BP people and facilities. The solution uses existing BP infrastructure, including the Microsoft application environment. It saves BP crisis managers hours each day by automatically consolidating data from 20 sources.
