A few hours of unplanned downtime can cost millions—but the race to intelligent operations isn't being won by AI alone. It’s being won by organizations that can connect people, assets, data, and automation at scale.

Oil and gas companies have no shortage of ideas for applying AI, automation, and Industrial IoT. The challenge is deploying those innovations consistently across complex, distributed operations. Fragmented connectivity, disconnected operational data, and limited visibility continue to slow decision-making, limit operational agility, and keep many digital initiatives from delivering enterprise-wide business value.

The organizations pulling ahead aren't simply investing in more technology—they're building the connectivity foundation that turns digital ambition into operational reality.

Combining GlobalData's industry research with Ericsson's real-world expertise, this 30-minute session explores how leading operators are connecting assets, workers, and operations across petrochemical, upstream, pipeline, and downstream environments to accelerate intelligent operations.

You’ll learn:

• Why connectivity has become the foundation for AI, automation, and Industrial IoT.
• How leading operators are moving beyond pilots to accelerate intelligent operations.
• What it takes to build a secure, resilient foundation for safer, smarter, and more efficient operations.
