For decades, oil and gas companies built their operations around on-premises software, systems that were installed locally, maintained internally, and updated on a schedule that rarely kept pace with business needs. These legacy platforms served their purpose, but as operations grew more complex and the pressure for real-time visibility increased, their limitations became harder to ignore.
Today, a significant shift is underway. Across the upstream and midstream sectors, finance leaders, operations managers, and IT teams are moving to SaaS, and the reasons go well beyond technology preference.
