Energy

The energy industry

More than almost any other sector, the Energy industry must contend with a dizzying array of business and regulatory requirements as well as unique issues arising from its decentralized business model. Far-flung field operations make it difficult too disseminate, share, and archive timely information, reports, engineering drawings, and specifications, and all projected-related data for easy access across multiple locations.


Energy companies also manage many complex, long-term contracts that need to be negotiated, maintained, updated, and audited regularly. Keeping track of all the different versions of these documents directly affects the bottom line. Out of necessity, Energy is turning to electronic document management (EDM) to reap substantial operational and productivity efficiencies as well as increase customer service.

EDM Helps Energy Companies Efficiently Manage Iterative Contracts, Diverse Field Operations, and Web-accessible Archives

 

  Enhances communication with field personnel by scanning, capturing, and transmitting online documents and reports, customized to diverse user requirements to geographically distributed locations. Archives reports and documents in indexed PDFs with secure corporate-wide accessibility via portals

 

  Manages and stores complex iterative contracts including negotiations, audits, version history, and all related documentation in multiple formats. Web-accessible archiving allows multiple users to work on documents concurrently

 

  Automates back-office operations such as scanned and indexed back files, accounts payable, accounts receivable, human resources, and customer service applications
