Key Market Trends

Proliferation of Cloud Based Ecosystem to Drive the Market Growth

• The companies are increasingly making essential files and data accessible through cloud, which in turn has led to the proliferation of the BYOD trend. The energy companies are also following suit, and given the globalised nature of their business, remote access of data becomes an important feature for this industry. With the increasing cuts on Oil prices by OPEC and falling revenues, enterprises are searching for ways that cut down on expenses and has the potential to generate internal revenues.

• Encouraging employees to use their own devices is an efficient way of adding capacity to your IT infrastructure. BYOD enables employees to work away from the office while still being able to access the system over the internet by accessing data and files they need. For example, Team Sites, which comes with Office 365, allows employees to improve collaboration while in different locations, editing documents simultaneously and taking part in online conferences.

• A new report from iPass, a commercial Wi-Fi network service provider, indicates that 70 per cent of mobile workers adapt their companies' bring your own device (BYOD) policies. For some, BYOD is a must. This trend will also get increasingly reflected in the energy industry, as the lines between office and private spaces get blurred.
