OMV and Cognite Extend Long-Term Collaboration to Further Accelerate OMV's Digitalization Transformation Program
7.3.2023 18:18:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Cognite, a global leader in industrial software, today announced an extension of its long-term frame agreement with OMV, the international, integrated oil, gas, and chemicals company headquartered in Vienna/Austria. Leveraging Cognite's leading Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion ®, OMV will expand its digital transformation program, DigitUP, to also include a more robust Asset Performance Management (APM) solution, strengthening OMV's position as a global digital leader in the industry.
The collaboration will accelerate OMV's digital transformation and drive operational improvements that make the organization more effective and unlock data-driven business opportunities along the entire value chain.
Cognite Data Fusion® is an integrated part of OMV's enterprise architecture, and the platform is used to liberate and consolidate data of surface data domains. OMV has built several use cases and applications on top of this liberated data and can now easily scale up to physical assets. Cognite Data Fusion® is key to contextualizing data across OMV’s ecosystem to accelerate the development and adoption of digital applications.
Cognite Data Fusion® powers OMV's surface data hub and enables rapid scaling of digital solutions across assets in Austria, New Zealand, and Romania. The OMV and Cognite collaboration thus far has resulted in the deployment of solutions within both production and maintenance optimization leading to a reduction of time needed to plan the inspections by 50% and 6% deferment savings on production.
In the next phase of this long-term agreement, OMV will expand its APM capabilities to include integrity management, as well as integration with computerized maintenance management systems for integrated activity planning across different operations disciplines. This expansion of DigitUP will empower users in maintenance, inspection, operations, and sustainability roles with a robust suite of digital solutions to support their decision-making, reduce costs, and maximize asset performance.
"We are excited for the next phase of our collaboration with OMV. As asset performance management evolves from pure maintenance to a more holistic look at an operation's reliability and sustainability, the complexity of data, analysis, and digital solutions to support it also grows. OMV is tackling this challenge head-on, and we are proud to support their continued commitment to being a leader in digitalization in the industry," says Dr. John Markus Lervik, co-founder and Chief Strategy & Development Officer, Cognite.

Exein Unveils Next-Generation Runtime Security to Protect the AI-Native World23.3.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Exein, the global leader in runtime cybersecurity, today unveiled Photon, a preemptive breakthrough solution that blocks cyberattacks at the point of execution. Designed for the AI-native world - where digital and physical systems are now inseparable - Photon marks a fundamental shift in how critical infrastructure protects itself. Unlike traditional cybersecurity solutions that detect threats after compromise - typically operating in user space and relying on a cloud network - Exein’s Photon operates directly inside the kernel, preventing malicious execution paths before they can run. By blocking attacks before the point of execution, the technology dramatically reduces latency and eliminates entire classes of threats before damage occurs. If malicious instructions cannot execute, the attack itself cannot take place. This advancement establishes a new category of runtime security designed for systems that cannot be disconnected: physical AI and IoT environments, autonomous AI agents,
