"The oil and gas industry faces increasing challenges in regulatory compliance, cyber security and safety management. Information systems to address these challenges sometimes need to be deployed into the most inaccessible parts of the world. At the same time they need to provide clear line of sight into every aspect of the business, so that preventive steps can be taken to mitigate risk. Infosys leverages the latest advances in Cloud and Mobility so that we address these fundamental goals without adding unnecessary costs to the business.
