The document discusses how Internet of Things (IoT) technology can help energy and natural resource companies improve operations and drive innovation. Specifically, it explains that IoT allows these companies to do more with the sensor data generated by field assets by integrating it with cloud, analytics, and machine learning capabilities. This convergence of operations data with real-time business information through enhanced IoT capabilities allows workers to make better decisions. The document promotes SAP Leonardo's IoT capabilities for connecting sensor networks with core applications to optimize asset usage, minimize costs, and improve workforce safety in the energy and natural resources industry.

2. For decades, asset and equipment sensor networks have
been an integral part of energy and natural resources (ENR)
company operations. Drills, pumps, excavators, and other
sensor-rich field assets have been generating huge amounts
of data to help ENR companies improve operations efficiency.
TODAY’S IOT TECHNOLOGY CAN DRIVE EVEN
MORE ENR INNOVATION
The availability of cost-effective cloud, analytics, and
machine-learning technology now makes it possible for ENR
companies to do a lot more with the Internet of Things (IoT),
according to a new IDC white paper, sponsored by SAP, The
IoT Imperative for Energy and Natural Resource Companies.*
CONVERGENCE IS KEY
While IoT continues to deliver operational benefits for
ENR companies, what’s missing is the ability to embed daily
operations with in-context, real-time business information.
By sharing more business data and insight across operations
using enhanced IoT capabilities, people can make better
in-the-moment decisions and operations can improve in
terms of safety, efficiency, and ROI.

What Is the Role of IoT
in Energy and Natural
Resources?
ENR companies must
view the data within
their processes,
assets, and opera-
tions as having value
beyond the entity that
generated the data.
That means breaking
down organizational,
information, and tech-
nology silos.*

Digital Transformation That Targets ENR
Company Priorities
IoT-driven transformation can deliver on the following two key ENR priorities.
Maximize recovery on
leases – Optimize the
use of equipment assets
in the field to ensure the
highest quality and
quantity of extracted
resources for the dura-
tion of the lease
Minimize input costs –
Use electricity, water, and
other inputs at lowest cost
by constantly monitoring
utility demand signals,
vendor cost data, and
asset performance
metrics
Improve workforce safety
and performance – Keep
people in the field connected
with their entire work envi-
ronment in real time to better
monitor and mitigate risks
