Topic:
“Project Information Management Challenges Solutions”
This presentation will address how some EPC companies are extending the use of project information management solutions (PIMS) into next level of project execution.
Not only is PIMS an integral part of managing the schedule and budget of the EPC phase of upstream and downstream capital projects, but is also transitioning into the management of information required by the Owner Operators (OOs) for plant operations and maintenance solutions.
Feedback from the market is that this trend results in a win-win situation for both the EPCs and the OOs. While the EPC expands his footprint into the OOs, the OOs see a reduction in costs, as the amount of effort to populate operations systems are significantly reduced while having greatly improved visibility into the project information.
