Overview of Enterprise Engineer Applications

Enterprise Engineer: An enterprise scalable suite of engineering document management and business process applications.

Enterprise Engineer is designed for organizations in the Oil & Gas, Energy & Utilities, Life Sciences, Natural Resources, Process Manufacturing Industries or any organization dependent on large operational assets for revenue generation or service provision.

Enterprise Engineer manages the processes around the creation, management and use of engineering documentation. Enterprise Engineer supports drawing (CAD) management, transmittal management and large scale engineering project and operational asset documentation management.

       

Leveraging Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and collaboration technologies from EMC, IBM and Microsoft, Enterprise Engineer provides a combination of industry best practice coupled with enterprise scalability, robustness and security. Owner operators are able to benefit from increased project efficiency, reduction of rework costs, minimization of plant shutdowns and regulatory non-conformities caused by the use of incorrect documentation.

By optimizing the engineering design and change management processes, organizations are able to maximize the value of their engineering documentation while mitigating the commercial risk associated with their use. With pre-defined industry best practices and business rules, the Enterprise Engineer application suite supports the engineering processes by providing the control required to manage the production and use of project and asset documentation.

Improved Management of Engineering Business Processes

Engineering documentation and drawings have special characteristics and complex inter-relationships. Engineering documentation is primarily unstructured data comprised of engineering or CAD drawings, health and safety procedures, contracts, regulatory rules and regulations, equipment instructions, calculations, geophysical data, analysis results and financial projections. Because other areas within the organization deal with structured data systems such as databases or financial systems, engineering has had to invest in “departmental” solutions, often heavily customized to meet their specific requirements. As a result, engineering, although critical to the business, creates “silos” of information that are often poorly linked to the rest of the enterprise.

These information disconnects can have serious consequences, such as:

• Lack of control and auditability of engineering processes.
  
• Higher risk of non-compliance.
  
• Time lost due to search and validation of documentation.
  
• Duplication of information in different repositories.
  
• Higher support and maintenance costs due to multiple platforms.
  
• Information lost between lifecycle phases of projects.
  
• Incomplete or inaccurate work packages of documentation sent to contractors.
  
• Lost production due to “information incidents”.
  
• Commercial disputes and claims.

Enterprise Engineer allows you to track each step, provide an audit trail and make better informed decisions. Your business will become more efficient and compliant at the same time.

All Enterprise Engineer applications are interoperable and upgradeable providing a complete engineering documentation lifecycle solution. The Enterprise Engineer suite consists of four applications accredited for both EMC Documentum and IBM FileNet P8 ECM platforms and supports full integrations with Autodesk AutoCAD^TM rapid user adoption with minimal training.
