In a compelling 30-minute webinar titled “Great Data Isn’t Enough; It Has to Be Usable,” Ikon Science unveiled the latest updates to its flagship subsurface data management platform, Curate 2025.2. The session was led by Dr. Alex Edwards, Vice President of Product, who walked viewers through the platform’s enhanced capabilities and the company’s evolving philosophy around data usability.
Edwards, a 15-year veteran of Ikon Science, opened the session with a bold premise: “Data management isn’t the goal. Decisions are.” He outlined how companies often pour resources into structuring their data—yet teams still struggle to apply it meaningfully. The issue, he argued, isn’t the quality of the data, but the lack of a usable, intuitive experience around it.
The 2025.2 release of Curate directly addresses that challenge. Designed with a user-first approach, the updated platform improves search capabilities, streamlines data access, and enhances contextual understanding—features aimed at accelerating decision-making for geoscientists, engineers, and asset teams.
Throughout the webinar, Edwards demonstrated real use cases and explained how Curate’s project-oriented structure supports collaborative workflows across global teams. New features highlighted include improved visual navigation, easier access to multi-disciplinary data, and simplified integration with existing subsurface systems.
“Curate isn’t just a data archive,” Edwards emphasized. “It’s a decision-making engine. It’s built to help users find the right data, in the right context, at the right time.”
The webinar concluded with a Q&A session and a call to action for attendees to explore the full capabilities of the platform via the on-demand recording.
Ikon Science continues to position Curate as the industry’s go-to subsurface data management platform—not just for organizing data, but for making it truly usable.
Join Dr. Alex Edwards, Vice President, Product as he break down the biggest myth in data management and show how Curate balances structure with usability, turning data from a burden into an advantage. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about managing data, it’s about making better decisions, faster.
