3 Introduction 14 years XHQ experience Upstream and Downstream Oil & Gas implementations Other heavy industry experience Consulting & Project Management Global development team Page 3

4 What We Do Botas Energy Enterprise mobility platform XHQ Data Visualization solutions - Refining - Drilling - Mining - Centralized monitoring Support the Siemens XHQ Product Center Integrating XHQ and custom.net code via API s -.NET API - ADO.NET API - Web services - ANS WS API Page 4

5 Mobile initiative WHY? Mobility improves productivity and efficiency, allowing instant access to critical real-time operations intelligence without restriction to a specific UI device or location Efficient access to critical realtime data Less restrictions on time and place to take action More engaged, efficient and productive users who drive improvements in productivity, efficiency and ROI Page 5

6 Mobile initiative WHY? Always on Within reach Familiar Technology allows innovation - Bluetooth Beacons - GPS - Camera - NFC - QR codes - Wearable technology on the rise Internet of Things (IoT) - by 2020 number of devices connected to the internet is expected to exceed 40 Billion Page 6

7 Mobile initiative Business challenges What is the use case? What business factors are contributing to this initiative? Who is the target user audience? Is mobile appropriate? Buy-in from leadership Change Management Page 7

8 Mobile initiative Design and UX challenges How do people collaborate? How can that be enhanced with mobile? Workflow has to allow seamless transition between mobile and desktop Intuitive, consistent UX on mobile and desktop Screen real estate; balance complexity with necessity Pick the right use cases Page 8

9 Mobile Initiative - Potential Use Cases KPI Overview Personalized Exception notification Basic tag browsing & Trending Quick data lookup Simplified to take into account user/location/time information Simplified data entry Simple schematics Page 9

10 Design and Business Challenges Lessons Learned Mobility compliments business process and existing desktop applications Keep use cases simple Make navigation and UI intuitive Personalize the UX by preserving user settings between sessions Simplify search Real estate is very valuable scrolling is possible but not very effective Display graphics have to be simple and effective Same data on mobile and desktop Implement simple input mechanisms - Simple Yes/No response - Simple comment entry - Simple forms - Leave more complex analysis and complex form population to the desktop users Some use cases are better left to larger screens (desktop or tablet) Page 10

11 Technical challenges Multiple mobile devices may require different programming techniques Existing business logic Limited screen real estate Network connectivity speed Security Page 11

12 Mobile initiative Technical challenges Lessons Learned Multi-platform framework or specific devices to minimize the costs Native API s have limited libraries and require experienced resources Traditional HTML pages may be too heavy for data transfer Reuse existing business model and logic if possible notification sometimes works, but may not provide sufficient content to drive action due to security challenges Trending need balance between ease of configuration and flexibility to be user friendly Work with IT on security infrastructure early in the process Network connectivity could be slow. Multiple mitigation strategies. Eliminate redundant data requests to the server as much as possible Distance to XHQ server is very important for redundant multiple requests Secure data transfer is important The application WILL change and new functionality will need to be deployed to mobile users Page 12
