Gateway
     
GATEWAY is petroWEB’s Microsoft Smart Client desktop GIS framework. It enables companies, large and small to quickly implement a rich GIS at a business unit or enterprise level.
Companies implementing GATEWAY immediately gain value in opening access to valuable corporate data assets across the enterprise. New, more efficient workflows can now be incorporated into the work stream and decision-making process to help provide better solutions.
GATEWAY integrates data sources located inside and outside of the company firewall. Numerous leading petroleum industry data providers as well as government agencies are integrated with GATEWAY.
Virtually any accessible data source can be viewed simultaneously and in context with company proprietary data such as land, production, logs, seismic, etc.
 
Additionally, GATEWAY can facilitate secure data access for partners and contractors. Through the petroWEB Entitlement System, data access can be completely managed and limited to only the information for which they are entitled.
GATEWAY contains a rich toolbox of analytical tools that can also be integrated with other third party vendor tools.

Providing a scalable GIS solution for companies of all sizes is not an easy task as evidenced by the large number of GIS systems deployed and then abandoned. GATEWAY was developed with focus on three core elements…security, extensibility and ease of deployment.
     
 
 
GATEWAY utilizes Microsoft’s Smart Client technology and auto-updates itself from a central server. Fixes, new features and add-ins are deployed to a central server, there is typically no need to visit each desktop.
GATEWAY is designed to be a technical portal for geotechnical staff as well as a KPI management tool for business and management staff. Typically this includes geologists, engineers, geophysicists, technologists, landmen, managers, accountants, and potentially even investors and partners.

Integration of data into a single interface promotes cross discipline data access and collaboration. Over time, companies typically build up technical data silos with access limited to domain specialists. GATEWAY unlocks this data which helps support a big picture understanding amongst all technical disciplines throughout the enterprise.
 
GATEWAY uses a row level security Entitlement System which can integrate with a company’s Active Directory. Access to data, applications, or functionality is controlled at either a group or individual level.
GATEWAY can be modified and extended to model workflows and best practices within your organization. There are many ways to extend the product by you the client, an external service provider, or by petroWEB.
