The challenge
Our client, a prominent energy sector leader with an expansive network spanning North America, faced a common but pervasive challenge. With assets in natural gas, oil, and power, their asset portfolio was vast and complex, spread across the continent and in different phases of the asset lifecycle. The traditional project-driven approach had resulted in scattered data and a struggle to maintain accurate, up-to-date models of their facilities. Asset stakeholders often had to search multiple systems, or even travel to site to confirm site conditions and gain the valuable insights they couldn’t from their siloed data.
For our client, data organization had become a puzzle, with assets reliant on personnel knowledge and scattered information. Vital as-built models and Smart P&IDs were difficult to keep current, making it a challenge to understand on-site conditions. This resulted in projects often going over budget and over schedule, hindering efficient project execution.
