Epsis is awarded a broad roll out project for Virtual Operation Rooms (VOR) 2.0.

Epsis is glad to announce that Equinor has awarded us an exciting “Virtual Operations Room (VOR 2.0)” project. This project involves over 25 suppliers and 30 installations, rigs, and vessels. It is the first step in establishing virtual spaces for Drilling and Well’s operations. These are designed to create a space that gives you the same collaboration as being in the same physical room.

The project will use Microsoft Team’s B2B direct connect functionality to facilitate secure connections between Equinor and its suppliers.

The virtual spaces will allow the operational teams to work in a shared channel within their own company’s Teams. They will be able to communicate and share information seamlessly, without any barriers such as login issues, lack of access, or lack of management of who is online. An added benefit is the potential for a significant reduction in email communication.

We are looking forward to collaborating with the D&W team in Equinor. #digitalWork

Virtual Operations Centers

What is a Virtual Operations Center (VOC)?

Clarity. Structure. Control—Where It Matters Most

Hybrid and high-tempo operations are complex. Teams work across shifts, systems, and sites—and still need to stay aligned. But too often:

  • Critical updates get missed
  • Information gets buried
  • Handover routines are rushed or unclear

That’s why operational teams turn to Virtual Operation Centers (VOCs)—to bring order to the operational chaos.

A VOC: Your Operations, Structured in Microsoft Teams—or Powered by Enify

A VOC is more than a dashboard or a chat tool. It’s a structured  operational workspace built in Microsoft Teams—with the meetings, routines, dashboards, and decision flows that align hybrid teams.

You can start simple with Microsoft Teams. Or go further with Enify—our digital assistant for smarter, real-time collaboration.

  • Enify helps your team surface the right context at the right time, across systems.
  • Use Enify to reduce noise, improve decisions, and simplify operations.

Whether you’re starting with native Teams functionality or scaling with Enify, the solution is modular, scalable, and always tailored.

The VOC reshapes the way work is structured and executed. With a virtual setup, your personnel can connect and communicate digitally, no matter their location or affiliation. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology, the VOC ensures that everyone gains collective awareness, enabling efficient decision-making and coordinated actions.

Why This Matters to Operational Teams

  • Standardize handovers and reduce risk
  • Get live data in the right context—where decisions happen
  • Make meetings shorter, updates clearer, and actions trackable
  • Align teams across shifts, time zones, and roles

“We used to lose time chasing updates—now it’s all in front of us.”
— Offshore Ops Supervisor

You Could Build This Internally—But It’s Tough

To make a VOC work, you need alignment between IT, ops, vendors, and support teams. That complexity slows down internal efforts and often leads to short-lived workarounds.

That’s where Epsis comes in. With over 40 implementations, we’ve helped teams successfully establish VOCs—designed around real operational needs, not abstract frameworks.
