WASHINGTON, DC –The Information Store (iStore) has launched Digital Oilfield Express (DOX), a service for independent oil and gas producers delivered online through a subscription price model and built on Microsoft Windows Azure cloud computing platform.
Barry Irani, CEO of iStore noted, “Because the vast majority of these companies are small businesses they typically lack the infrastructure and IT expertise of the big players which has kept Digital Oilfield solutions out of reach. Recognizing that the Digital Oilfield concept would allow these companies to better manage and use exploration and production data, we looked to Microsoft’s Azure Cloud computing platform as the means to deliver essential and affordable technology to this largely underserved market.”
iStore is creating DOX as a streamlined set of key E&P functions, such as document management and data visualization, utilizing SQL Azure and other components of the Windows Azure Services Platform. The Azure cloud platform provides Digital Oilfield technology in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) pricing model.
iStore offers software solutions to exploration and production companies. Founded in 1994, the privately held company's headquarters are in Houston.
