PIDX Fall 2009 Meeting

October 7-8, 2009
Hosted by Schlumberger
Houston, Texas

E-business has a critical role in the fast-changing world of the 21st Century – a world being shaped by technological innovation, an increasingly global economy, and the ever-rising expectations of society. In order for our industry to exceed the expectations of our customers and stakeholders, we must be leaders in e-business. What’s accomplished? Reduced transaction costs, improved efficiencies, more secure and effective business communications and reduced cycle times and errors in a more than $100 billion annual energy procurement marketplace.

PIDX, the API e-business standards development body for the oil and natural gas industry, develops the standards that facilitate electronic exchanges for our industry. PIDX – the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange -- is committed to the development of open standards, which are needed to ensure the competitiveness of our products and services and the interoperability of our systems.
