Cegal Data program: Subsurface Data Clean-up before Migration. Assess, Rationalize, and Report before Move and Improve by Zaphod Peters

The Cegal Data Program helps solve your company's subsurface and data challenges through a three-step process: assess, rationalize, and report on your data environment.

In the assessment stage, we identify all subsurface projects and data in your environment. We then highlight potential cleanup and organization steps for the rationalization stage. Together, we will develop governance models to ensure your data remains well-managed in the future, using our reporting stage.

In this presentation, we will outline the three key processes and review past case studies, including data migration to a Cloud/OSDU environment, mergers and acquisitions, and regulatory compliance.
