Rodney
ET president Bruce Rodney said, This deal reaffirms our strategy of US-based technology innovation. We work with our clients, in this case Conoco Inc., to incubate concepts into products that are created market-ready. WAM - a.k.a The Archiver is a browser-based application for archiving E&P data, including components from multiple applications, data stores and documents. The software was developed in conjunction with Conoco for use worldwide.
Simple
Rodney continued, Our information management vision is simple. Present the user with a map displaying both active and archived projects. Click on an active project to browse live data, click on an archived project to browse a snapshot of that project. Click on search to find stuff, no matter where its located.
Online archive
WAM creates the physical archive and a permanently online database of archived objects, as well as a project stub in Web format. Components can be browsed, documented and searched, even when a project is offline. WAM is the second in a series of web-based tools development by ET. The Browser, for online project data browsing was sold to Landmark Graphics in 2001 and is marketed as WOW. ET is now working on the Administrator for web-based system and project data administration.
