8 Billion Dollar Question for Oil & Gas Mobility ? -

(Newswire.net — April 09, 2013) Calgary, AB. — Communication is one of the most significant impacts mobility has had on Oil & Gas enterprises. It is estimated that by 2015, $168 billion will be spent on enterprise mobile applications and $8 billion will be allocated for oil and gas mobile apps. Within the energy sector there is a great demand for mobile apps as only 1 out of 3 of the top 50 oil and gas companies already have a mobile application.

Enterprise mobility applications have proven their effectiveness in improving communication and collaboration within work groups, delivering data and information to decision makers quickly, and thereby increasing efficiency.

The oil and gas industry requires enterprise mobile apps that are more than simply marketing tools. It is essential for the industry to have mobile app solutions that are designed to assist collaboration and improve communication for increased productivity and efficiency.

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) predicted in 2011 that by 2013 more people will use mobile phones than PCs to get online. We are at that point right now. A recent estimation claims over 70% of the workforce within the energy sector uses their mobile devices at work. Oil & Gas professionals who work in the oil field, service technicians, oil and gas service providers, and decision makers all find these tools invaluable.

Andrew Borg in a recent Aberdeen briefing discussed the advantages of mobile applications for business. Survey data taken from 240 enterprises showed that the use of mobile apps specifically designed to help employees get their work done increased productivity by 45%. Further, the data reveals that operational efficiency rose nearly 44% when enterprise apps are utilized.

The Aberdeen survey further showed that communication and collaboration among team members was improved by 66%, rapid information delivery for decision making was improved by 48% and mobile applications improved customer satisfaction 42%.

“Significant increases in productivity and efficiency cannot be ignored. With mobile apps gaining increased importance and momentum in the oil and gas sector Oilfield Directory has staffed a highly skilled mobile app team who specialize in mobile application development for iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Blackberry app development. For smaller oil and gas companies on limited budges Oilfield Directory can develop a universal oil and gas mobile app instead of native oil and gas industry mobile app.” states Scott Steel company spokesman for Oilfield Directory.

Oilfield Directory has the experts to deliver the mobile application framework that will enable oil and gas mobile apps to deliver the necessary tools the energy sector requires. They can help companies successfully achieve, develop, and integrate a mobility deployment strategy for their oil or gas enterprise. Oilfield Directory’s skilled mobile app development team comes highly recommended because they have considerable mobile application industry training.
