“Liberation, integration, and contextualization of data will be a key accelerator and a critical differentiator in the markets of the future, and Equinor’s ambition is to become a leader in the way we manage and derive insights from data,” says Torbjørn Folgerø, SVP Enterprise Digital in Equinor.
With contextualized data, Equinor can develop accessible data models and analytics, empowering employees to develop competitive insights and stress-test hypotheses on a continuous basis.
