Implementation of a geo-informational system for geological and geophysical data managing. Case study

Results of solving fundamental difficulties of data management at NIS a.d. are discussed. The business’ need for solving mentioned problems became a catalyst for the optimal technical solution search, which led to the Exploration Platform project initiation. During the execution phase, authors identified several challenges, which lie far beyond the simple implementation or creation of a single software. This requires systemic changes in the number of business processes and corporate culture. In response to the challenges, authors proposed a novel approach to managing data across domains, which, according to the stakeholders’ opinion, is a desirable change. The Exploration Platform project has already influenced on exploration business processes and it affects related areas of the company’s activities.
