Operations of the Service Providers
Having as the process domain, the entire North American producer population to manage would be a difficult and challenging task to grasp initially. The approach to the process would be fundamentally different than that which would be done in a junior oil and gas company or ExxonMobil. Even they don't come close to that scale of the proposed volume. Therefore the need to design the process within the user community from the basis of some new method of organization will have already been determined as a result of your early participation in the community. The softwares design and process management will be consistent with this new philosophy.
As a result of this new philosophy, the user community research will have determined a new level of specialization and division of labor for the people that need to be involved in that process and the tasks that they will need to do. Defining what the computers and what the people can each do best. As we have noted here many times before, computers are good at storing data and processing information. People are good at making decisions, collaborating, innovation, ideas, planning, creativity, design, leadership and problem solving. This new specialization and division of labor between computers and people will be the base that your service provider will use in this new oil and gas environment. It will be one of the things that you use to enhance your service to ensure that the oil and gas producers continue to achieve the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. A new specialization and division of labor that will provide better services and lower costs to the producers and reveal new ways in which to do business that can add value to their organizations.
And participation in the user community will continue as a result of your work in the service provider. The need to make changes in the specialization and division of labor has to be initiated in the software first and foremost. We are defined and supported, and constrained by the software systems that we use. Any change that we make in our organizations must first be made in the software. As a member of the service provider sub-industry your role in the user community continues so that you have the ability to affect the changes necessary through the People, Ideas & Objects software development capability and user community commitment and vision. This feedback from the service providers is one of the primary reasons that there will be constant development work being done on the systems and services provided by this ecosystem. All to the benefit of the oil and gas producers enhanced profitability.
If this sounds like the more appropriate manner in which to operate the industry. One where change and dynamic capabilities are the competitive advantage of the oil and gas producer. Then you can join me here. The alternative is to continue on with the profit destroying methodology of each producer attempting to develop the entire scope of administrative and accounting capabilities in-house with no sharing of those capabilities. It can't be that I am the first that asks if that is working.
The Preliminary Specification and user community provides the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. People, Ideas & Objects Revenue Model specifies the means in which investors can participate in these user defined software developments. Users are welcome to join me here.
