Setting the standard: The evolution of the API Monogram and QR programs

Live from ONS 2026 in Stavanger, Jim sits down with Nicolay Ryste, VP of Product Management at Aize, the digital twin software company spun out of the Aker family. Nicolay traces Aize's path from an internal BP pilot to today's V2 platform running across Aker BP, ExxonMobil, and SBM Offshore, then previews V3: extending digital twins beyond topside to subsea and onshore assets, a rebuilt 3D and 2D engine built for tablets and lower-power devices, and a new MCP server that lets users bring their own AI agents into the twin. They also dig into how Aize is running a phased, side-by-side rollout so existing customers can adopt V3 without disrupting daily operations.
