Overview

As one of the leading integrated energy corporations in Latin America, Petrobras Energia S.A. aims to be a leader in the incorporation of new technologies into its major lines of business and internal operations.

The new desktop environment provides the company with better data analysis, more effective desktop search, enhanced IT security, and more efficient infrastructure management.
