Project Summary
WebCreek designed a cloud-augmented DRM product for an oilwell company that integrated downhole sensor data into a secure repository and met the client's IT and security requirements. The solution included a WPF desktop client, a Web API connecting PC nodes to Microsoft Azure, and specified cloud resources for IT approval. The product was commercialized as DRM 2.0 and continues to receive small enhancements based on user feedback.
Key Challenges
- Create a cloud-augmented software and database repository for downhole sensor data
- Lack of in-house expertise for full-stack development
- Ensure IT compliance and pass the client's stringent security checks while using NOV cloud resources
Project Deliverables
- WPF desktop application
- Web API for PC-to-cloud communication
- Azure cloud resource specification
- Database/repository for downhole sensor data
Project Solution
WebCreek designed a WPF-based desktop application to be deployed as IT-approved software on corporate PCs, developed a Web API to relay communication from PC nodes to Microsoft Azure, and specified the Azure cloud resources required for IT approval. They provided the architecture and implementation to integrate a database repository for downhole sensor data and supported ongoing maintenance and small enhancements.
Project Outcome
- Product commercialized; DRM 2.0 was an integral part of the product
- Ongoing small, fixed-price enhancements improved usability based on beta-user feedback
