Dubai: Microsoft is going after the big-ticket energy industry contracts with its new Energy Data Services. These energy companies gain actionable insights and improve operational efficiency while accelerating time to market on the enterprise-grade, cloud-based OSDU Data Platform.

There is also the Microsoft Sustainability Manager, which allows energy companies to take control of their environmental impact by providing a real-time view of environmental footprint across their entire value chain.

“Energy Data Services is a secure, reliable, hyperscale, cloud-based data platform solution that enables energy customers to move to a more data-centric environment by eliminating information siloes,” said Naim Yazbeck, General Manager, Microsoft UAE.

“The energy sector accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, so it’s vital that as a technology company, we explore every opportunity to support and enable decarbonization within the sector.”
