Here is a case study of how Office Objects database design and development helped Saipem work more efficiently.
Saipem is based in over 60 countries and in almost every world oil & gas market. It specialises in construction for offshore and onshore drilling projects.
My department, based in Aberdeen, had been using a 15-year-old database for technical and operational reports. The database was out of date and under threat of replacement because we had lost the skill-set to manage it. We needed a new bespoke database design. Operational and technical staff use the database for personnel and equipment reporting. The database is also used for maintenance tracking and fault trends. It is also used for material requisition, inventory and stock control. As the database was becoming a source of frustration we required an overhaul. Becuase of our evolving business requirements it needed to streamlined.
So what did Office Objects do?
Office Objects provided us with bespoke database updgrade. They successfully distributed the data over 30 individual systems. They provided an excellent software option to manage this. Almost five years later, the technical reporting database has a new lease of life. We are considering adding new features to take advantage of our many years of operational and technical data.
On behalf on my department, I wish to thank Office Objects for their attentive and patient service. This allowed us to avoid adopting an alternative 3rd party application. Instead they provided the necessary training to enable us to manage our own front-end database. They also provided customised updates and to ensure essential data maintenance could be carried out.
