As we approach the end of another year, with less than 2 months to go, I would like to reflect on GEOVIA as a brand and how we can better serve you, our customers.
The 2017 global mining report by PwC indicates a return to profitability for mining companies after a year of recovery and paying down debt, however the sentiment of cautiousness remains with miners “drawing breath to stop, think, act”.
To support our customers in their recovery and help them maximize productivity, technology remains the key. In my last post, I announced that GEOVIA would start bringing 3DEXPERIENCE into the hands of our customers in 2017, to enable better collaboration and work in the cloud. As the future of mining increasingly moves towards digitalization, there is no doubt that the industry needs to look at the way we collaborate.
The mining industry will not be immune to digital disruption – consider the sharing economy, where ride-sharing and apartment-sharing has become the standard today in industries we once regarded as traditional. What if mining is, too, transformed by the sharing economy?
Building on the theme of sharing and collaboration digitally, I would like to introduce our GEOVIA community to GEOVIA POWER’BY, a set of rich applications leveraging the power of a social and collaborative enterprise-level platform. These applications are tied to Roles offered on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, such as Business Innovation, Industry Innovation and Geology Modeler, which enable you to access different capabilities and benefits.
Think of it as your digital workspace, starting with the Business Innovation role which allows you to share your files dynamically, visualize models in 3D, dashboard your data, start a community to collaborate on projects and more.
Watch the video below where we introduce POWER’BY together with the GEOVIA Brand Portfolio Managers Justin Meade and Jessica Jensen.
