Connecting engineering and operational data across the asset lifecycle to drive reliable outcomes

Heavy industry runs on assets built to last for decades, but the data behind them is often scattered across disconnected engineering, operational, and enterprise systems. This fragmentation slows decision-making, creates costly rework, and makes it difficult to anticipate asset failures or keep capital projects on track. As organizations face growing pressure to modernize and adopt AI, the challenge is turning decades of disconnected industrial data into trusted, actionable insights that improve performance across the entire asset lifecycle.
The solution starts with connecting data across Design, Build, Operate, and Protect. By breaking down silos between engineering, operations, and enterprise IT, organizations can gain greater visibility into asset performance, identify potential risks earlier, and move from reactive maintenance to predictive reliability. With the right industrial context and a connected data foundation, AI can help teams make more informed decisions, reduce operational disruptions, and deliver measurable business value.
Join Octave & Microsoft and a select group of industry peers as we explore how to unlock the full potential of industrial data and build a foundation for trusted, AI-driven operations. Together, we'll discuss practical strategies for connecting data across the asset lifecycle, improving predictive reliability to minimize downtime, and keeping capital projects on schedule and on budget while accelerating the journey toward smarter, more resilient industrial operations.

About Microsoft

Octave builds intelligence for heavy industry. Founded by operators who've spent their careers in oil and gas, chemicals, and process manufacturing, Octave connects engineering, project and operational data into a single digital thread across the full asset lifecycle — Design, Build, Operate, and Protect. That connected foundation helps asset-intensive organizations predict failures before they happen, keep capital projects on schedule, and put AI to work with real industrial context and confidence. Octave isn't a single-point tool — it's the connected intelligence layer heavy industry has been missing.
