Learn more about Velocity Insight & Zack Warren, P.E.
Velocity Insight is a team of engineers, geologists, information technologists, accountants, and others who spent decades sitting inside Oil and Gas operating companies large and small. Through that experience, we recognized the need firsthand for real, cross-functional transformation to make companies better. With these trophies (and scars), Velocity Insight was born. Here are some core values:
1. Get your data into the hands of people who need it.
Velocity Insight experts have decades of experience. They know what departments require what information and to what degree of precision. We can create automated operations reports and free accounting staff and other stakeholders from manual spreadsheets.
2. Create Reports specialized to your firm with our years of experience and accuracy.
Even talented organizations lack the expertise and efficiency to build automated reporting and insight gathering. Velocity Insight helps bridge the gap and deliver high quality end-user data free of errors or omissions.
3. Develop self-reliance and own your data.
Many oilfield software providers claim to help you own your processes and automate data manipulation, we however, recognize software dependence is not a reliable long-term solution. Relying on subscription software can lead to your data being held for ransom. With VI you own your data.
Most subscription software may seem cost effective, but over the course of several years the costs become material.
We also provide more flexibility than existing providers. Leverage tools like Microsoft BI to create reports with the exact information you need. Pay upfront and own your reports forever.
