The Capgemini EPiCentre provides the oil and gas industry with subject matter expertise, experience and lessons learned from business critical upstream and midstream projects. The CoE domain experts include business analysts, solution architects as well as senior application developers with experience from various technical platforms.
The centre do focus on four industry areas:
Integrated Operations, with a focus on information management and process improvements.
- Asset Lifecycle Management, covering asset tracking, documentation and maintenance and modification needs.
- Subsurface applications, where the centre has competence from development and integration of the major ISV applications.
- Oil and Gas Trading and Operations, managing the wet value chain from reservoir

Capgemini has served the Norwegian Oil and Gas industry through 30 years. Our
competence and experience from developing specialized industry applications complement
our experience from implementing standard applications. Our industry advisors
and information architects advice organisations on how they best can utilise their
investment in standard applications, and how to best extend functionality when
business needs require specialised applications to be developed - and integrated.
The CoE industry and subject matter experts are located in all our regional offices, both in Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Oslo. They are teaming up in the centre to offer their significant insight and offer the industry opportunities to discuss and develop industry initiatives in both the technology and business domain.

The EPiCentre was officially opened in Stavanger may 8th 2007.
