DETROIT, Oct. 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covisint, a Compuware (Nasdaq:CPWR) company, announced that its Chief Security Officer, Dave Miller, is speaking today and tomorrow at Digital Oilfield Summit -- an online conference and exhibition -- regarding how companies can engage to manage security information, practices and processes for oil and gas joint ventures. The presentation, titled: Successful Knowledge and Information Exchange for Oil and Gas Joint Ventures, is free and available by registering at https://g2events.6connex.com/portal/digital-oilfield/login.
Webinar attendees will learn from Covisint how to:
- decrease the "time-to-first-oil" through better business collaboration and connectivity;
- avoid millions of dollars in auditing penalties by providing better control and insight;
- foster "community creations" that bring disparate-yet-complementary businesses and services securely together;
- increase implementation speed for key business initiatives; and,
- build productive trust relationships among competitors.
"It's a new world, and organizations need to collaborate -- often establishing joint ventures with competitors and others -- to achieve their goals," Miller said. "Business success is increasingly being defined by and linked to IT success, and securely helping companies to connect and collaborate in the cloud is Covisint's core strength. The key is to learn and benefit from the collaboration successes other industries have pioneered and proven. For oil and gas in particular, information is increasingly becoming the strategic asset, not the drilling rigs."
What: Digital Oilfield Virtual Summit -- a fully virtual and online conference and exhibition dedicated to information and communications technologies for the oil and gas industry.
Who should attend: IT and exploration/exploitation professionals in the oil and gas industry.
What to expect: Miller will discuss how multiple industries have successfully managed identities on an enterprise scale, including manufacturing, healthcare and financial services.

When: Miller's virtual presentation -- which begins today at 1:30 p.m. Eastern and includes a live chat Q&A with the CSO.
