This session explores how automation strengthens GIS efficiency at different scales. The Norwegian Offshore Directorate shows how a small team uses automation to manage and share data on the continental shelf, covering seabed minerals, energy resources, and carbon storage. Equinor presents how automation streamlines user and content management in a large organization, applying cloud technologies and AI to improve governance and onboarding. Together, these examples highlight how automation reduces repetitive tasks, improves governance, and enables teams to focus on development and innovation.
