Uptake flurry of DNV GL’s big data management platform

The increase in subscriptions is largely due to a recent flurry of additions from companies operating in the oil & gas, renewables and maritime sectors, as well as new specialised data analysis tools that cover all industries.

“There is no panacea that will automatically create value from big data, which is why we have put an emphasis on making Veracity an ecosystem where companies can tap into relevant platform features and connect with each other,” said Bjørn Tore Markussen, Head of Veracity at DNV GL.

Strong uptake

From its launch in February 2017 to the middle of April this year, the platform’s full range of services have been restricted to a selected number of clients, but it has now transitioned to the ‘public preview’ phase, allowing customers to start using/exploring the advanced data sharing functionality.

Even with these limitations, 900 000 services have been subscribed to by 120 000 active users (many of whom previously used the portal My DNV GL).

A number of new providers and services have recently been added to the marketplace or will soon come online, including a tool by SteelCorr which coordinates complex industrial painting projects.

ScanReach’s In:Reach solution will also be incorporated which will allow wireless technology onboard ships to transmit the location of crew, giving an instant overview of personnel during an emergency.

Veracity will enter into general availability later this year.
