In their own words
The immediate value has already been seen as we focused on one plant when we ingested the data into Cognite and built a relationship between them. Now, what we can do is locate that data within a minute versus it taking hours, calling SMEs, calling people to say where is this file, where is that file... This is part of one of our product lines called smart maintenance management.

The Cognite data platform would enable us to view and utilize our siloed industrial data in a contextualized manner. This improves timely access to critical information, strengthens our core operations, and deepens our understanding of our processes. As a key element of our digital transformation strategy, an enterprise contextualization platform empowers us to enhance decision-making and secure a competitive business advantage.
