DIGITISATION OF CONTENTOpenText Extended ECM for Engineering - a Digital Revolution in Engineering Project Management
- Workflow
In the world of engineering and industrial projects, every detail matters. Hundreds of people involved in processes, thousands of technical documents, multi-year asset life cycles - all of which require precise coordination and access to reliable information.
Disorganized data, lack of control over document versions or difficulties in cooperating with contractors can result not only in delays, but also in huge costs.
That's why more and more companies are looking for tools that allow them not only to manage their documentation, but also to realistically speed up and streamline their projects. One of the most advanced solutions available on the market is OpenText Extended ECM for Engineering - system designed with the specifics of large, multi-phase engineering projects in mind. xECM for Enginnering combines the features of a typical ECM system with additional functionalities needed for engineering projects, such as collaboration with those maps, CAD files, etc.
Why is the Traditional Approach no Longer Enough?
Engineering and manufacturing companies today operate in an environment of increasing complexity:
- documentation is produced in various departments and systems,
- cooperation with external partners is necessary,
- processes require compliance with strict standards and regulations.
As a result, teams often struggle with information chaos, lack of visibility into projects and loss of control over data. All it takes is one mistake in documentation for delays or additional costs to run into the hundreds of thousands.
OpenText Extended ECM for Engineering - the Answer to the Challenges
This solution combines engineering documentation management with business processes and systems used in companies - from ERP to GIS tools. This makes technical data an integral part of the entire asset and project lifecycle.
The most important areas in which Extended ECM for Engineering supports organizations are as follows.:
- Better control and visibility of projects - With dashboards and reports, teams can monitor the status of tasks and risks in real time,
- efficient cooperation - Shared Workspaces integrate data and allow multiple teams to work on the same up-to-date information,
- Geolocation of assets - Integration with GIS systems (e.g., ESRI ArcGIS) enables map-based infrastructure and data management,
- Secure document exchange with contractors - Version control, transmittals and workflow eliminate the risk of errors,
- commissioning of assets - staging area and handover processes shorten the time between project completion and the start of operations.
Business Value
The implementation of such a system translates directly into reduceing risk, optimize costs and achieveing business goals faster. Companies gain confidence that their data is complete, up-to-date and available to the right people - regardless of the scale of the project.
Extended ECM for Engineering is also the foundation of digitization - it allows organizations to take full advantage of the potential of automation, analytics
and integration with modern tools.
