I have a customer scenario where I need to use Operational data for Data Science & Machine Learning purposes.

As a company that shares data with external partners, I would prefer to provide secure access to our data through the Cloud SO THAT we can share our data without making a bunch of copies of it all over the place and have a more standard way of sharing data to external partners.

As a customer that has assets in locations that have few personnel that are capable of maintaining software on site, but need to create displays, reports, and troubleshoot operational issues using data from several different small automation systems. I need a low to zero footprint offering that is always up-to-date offered on a subscription basis so that I can enable visualization and analytical capabilities on my remote sites.

Ability to share a display of information (real-time & historical) with an external partner/company.

Must support ability to secure and share specific displays with specific partners.

It must be possible to share the display with an external partner that doesn't already have a PI System.

Provide a way for partners, vendors, or customers that don’t have a PI System to securely access a subset of our operations data SO THAT we have a more standard and secure way of data exchange than today (VPN, Email, FTP, Citrix, PI to PI, PI CC, etc.).

I need to be able to be notified when something important happens in the process/assets we are working with SO THAT I can take action on the issue.

As a service provider, I need to ensure that our customers can NEVER see another customer's data or even meta-data (that they exist) SO THAT customers can't see any information about their competitors and who we work with.

As a industrial operating company that shares data with partners and service providers, I need to ensure that our data is only accessible to those that we share with SO THAT we can ensure our data and company's intellectual property (IP) is safe and secure.

As a company that provides services for remote assets at our customers sites, we need to collect data from our customer sites without having to deploy a full PI System SO THAT we can start providing our service weeks to months faster and save on deployment and infrastructure costs.  

Ideally, we could deploy some PI Connectors to remote sites and store the data in a Cloud Data Store.

Ability to configure calculations based on OCS data and store the values back into OCS as new Streams.

Ability to display sites & assets on a map, show their current status, and then have a way to drill down into details for them.

I need to be able to have OSIsoft's cloud services solution be deployed into private clouds that the customer controls SO THAT the infrastructure and security for the application is managed by the customer (and their providers).

Ability to click on an Asset and view the current values for data & metadata associated with the Asset.

Enable a way for external organizations that are partners that are sharing data and displays to also communicate & collaborate with each other in the context of their sharing community SO THAT everyone in the community can leverage the expertise of the community members and work together to meet their collective business objectives.

Support a chat/message board to enable collaboration and sharing of ideas within a 'community space'.

As an company that uses PI Systems across our enterprise, we need the ability to aggregate data across on premises PI Systems located at our sites.

Today, we often use another "Enterprise" level PI Server to perform this aggregation and 'corporate view'. but in the future, we would like to be able to aggregate this data in a cloud based Software as a Service (SaaS) offering hosted by OSIsoft.

This would enable customers to largely replace their central/corporate PI Servers with OSIsoft Cloud Services (OCS).

Ability to search for OSIsoft Cloud Services (OCS) Streams by name and trend Stream Properties.

Ability to perform basic trend interactions such as: setting the time range, configure y-axis mode, highlight traces, hide/show traces, multiple cursors, horizontal panning & zooming.

We don't have the resources or skills to setup, administer, and manage our own PI System. We would just like to be able to use a hosted system delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS).

The ability to collect data directly into OCS (Cloud) but then route some data back to on premises PI Systems for merging with that data.

As a company that shares data with partners, I need to be able to copy data from our PI System to our partner's PI System SO THAT they can leverage the PI System infrastructure they already have in place.

The PI Cloud Connect model that copies data from one PI Server to another PI Server securely through the cloud works great for us today.

As a data scientist, I need to be able to create calculations from data using Python SO THAT I can create analytics using the language I'm familiar with and write the outputs of these analytics back to the data store.

An API to access data and asset context for remote assets / operations monitoring programattically
