We are writing this article today to inform you of some upcoming changes to HoleBASE product support.
Since HoleBASE’s launch in 2011, it has provided geotechnical data management and log production capabilities for ground investigation organizations globally. However, as project requirements and technology continue to evolve, cloud-based solutions are enabling greater collaboration, increased data access, enhanced security, and the scalability needed to manage ever-increasing data volumes. As a result of this changing landscape, Seequent has made the difficult decision to begin phasing out support for HoleBASE products and instead advance OpenGround, a modern cloud-based solution for ground investigation data management and borehole log production.
To support your transition to the cloud, Seequent has developed the following migration path timeline. It’s designed to give you confidence in our product direction and provide you with ample time to adopt the OpenGround solution.
We are confident you will find OpenGround to be a high-quality future replacement for HoleBASE that brings a series of new capabilities to your workflows, made possible by cloud-based technology.
We appreciate how integral HoleBASE is to your business operations today and strive to work closely with existing users to plan a cloud migration to OpenGround on a timeframe that meets your specific requirements. The migration path from HoleBASE to OpenGround is simple and usually completed within 24-48 hours. Because OpenGround is fully-feature compatible with HoleBASE, all your existing project data, configuration, and reports can be seamlessly migrated to the cloud.
Launched in 2018, OpenGround is a secure, enterprise geotechnical data collaboration platform. It enables connected digital workflows throughout every stage of the ground investigation lifecycle, from desk study, onsite data capture and report production, through to geotechnical analysis, geological modelling, and engineering design integration. As the successor to HoleBASE, OpenGround already has over 11,000 users, is growing rapidly, and manages data in the cloud for more than 2.4 million exploratory locations.
Some of the benefits of adopting a cloud platform for data management include:
