Devon is in your back yard. They are significantly invested in technology. Living in Oklahoma all the oil & gas companies here are in my experience.
Perhaps you're just ignorant to what it is they actually do in their IT departments or are only considering small companies. A field worker or landman might not know what goes on either.
- rubiquity 11y agoI'm aware of Devon but isn't that a recent thing? And I'm guessing you're referring to their use of OpenStack and buying RHEL licenses/support? What's interesting is that several people up here have used Devon as the poster child for reserved technology practices. Encana/Cenovus tend to have the recognition of being technology forward. Maybe Devon has changed since they sold off half of their Canadian assets. I agree my ignorance/attitude towards the industry isn't the best. I've always felt as a software startup the service companies would be your best bet.
