Digital Transformation – Introduction to our Digital Journey

With the Digital Journey OMV has defined a structured digital transformation to become a leading player in the field of digitalization in the industry, unlocking smart opportunities among our entire value chain. The digital transformation is driven by key initiatives orchestrated across the entire group, which are built on three pillars:

Business agility through smart investment and technology choices – close to business - focusing on highest impact along business and HSSE priorities driven by light house projects
Digital ways of working - innovate at speed and scale with an organization, skills & culture adaptive to digital through Culture Initiative, Digital Academy and Open Innovation
Digital platforms– breaking down silos by integrating through digital technology like Cyber Security, S4Hana, Cloudification and O365 WoF

Think digital – in every dimension

The digital strategy was developed in line with OMV’s structure alongside key divisional programs, namely DigitUP in Upstream, DigitalMotion in Downstream, and Finance 4.0 in corporate services. Lighthouse projects have contributed to operationalizing our business strategies and generating maximum value since 2018. Our digital strategy also enables digitalization based on hybrid IT infrastructure services and state-of-the-art cybersecurity. We promote cultural change and develop future skills to foster an innovative mindset and create digital dexterity in our organization.

For OMV, digital leadership also means acting as an industry role model for sustainable HSSE, reducing our carbon footprint and maintaining highly efficient and effective process operation. Among our key values are customer centricity, serving as the business partner of choice, and being an attractive employer for talent.

To reach this target OMV invests in digitalization projects along seven dimensions:

Cyber security to safeguard the business
Process digitalization to improve business models and process efficiency
Advanced analytics by integrating data domains in a data lake to enhance decision making and drive predictive maintenance ambitions
Automation, AI & Robotics to optimize operations, increase HSSE effectiveness and improve corporate processes
Connectivity & Sensing to digitalize plant operations and connect the workforce
Hybrid IT infrastructure integration as a state-of-the-art IT foundation layer (“Renovate the core”)
Digital Dexterity as our ambition to implement a new culture, a new way of approaching challenges

Focus areas and achievements of Digital Transformation - along our value chain

Today, digitalization is vital for business at OMV, for example, to ensure optimal evaluation and convergent use of digital and analog data in machine controls for increased efficiency and availability, safer operations, and more targeted maintenance activities. Leveraging our experience, collaborating with strategic partners, and transforming key elements of the IT landscape into platforms allows us to execute a solid, well-balanced portfolio of use-case and value-driven digital endeavors.
