BP Tracks Hurricanes With Visual Mapping Solution That Saves Time and Aids Decisions
Overview Energy company BP is investing billions of dollars in offshore oil production assets in the Gulf of Mexico region and spends nearly half of each year monitoring the safety of employees and equipment during hurricane season. BP's Houston-based Severe Weather Team used to spend hours each day tracking storms during this time, with crisis managers manually integrating dozens of data feeds while million-dollar decisions hung in the balance. To speed up the time-consuming and stressful work of gathering and aggregating constantly changing storm data, BP used Microsoft software to create the Web-based Crisis Management Mapping System. This data-visualization solution automatically collects and integrates real-time weather data with maps of employee and asset locations.
