2013-03-19 18:27:40 - AVEVA announced today that, following the success of its 2012 Round Table events for Owner Operators in the Oil & Gas industry, it will now host the events on a quarterly basis

Improving information handover on major capital projects key to driving information excellence

Calgary, AB – 19 March 2013: . The theme of the upcoming events will be ‘Crossing the Information Chasm - Driving Information Excellence’ and will be held on April 10 & 11, 2013 at The Calgary Petroleum Club. The topic will centre on the challenge of receiving inconsistent and incomplete information at project handover and how, by addressing it, reduced costs and improved efficiency can be achieved.

“Historically, information handover has been a one-off process leaving the Owner Operator with a hugely expensive and lengthy task to analyze and prepare for commissioning and operations,” says William Muldoon, Executive Vice-President – North America, AVEVA. “The significant knock-on effects of poor

data quality often only become apparent later in the asset lifecycle, when it can risk operational safety and compliance, creating further delays and costs. A phased handover approach, with the ability to automatically validate the information, enables Owner Operators to dramatically improve their information integrity. This drives more efficient commissioning and operations, leading to cost reductions and improved and safer asset performance.”

“These next Round Table events will give Owner Operators the opportunity to share experiences and knowledge on the important challenge of ‘Crossing the Information Chasm’. In addition, we will describe the ease of adopting a clear information management strategy and explain the role that AVEVA’s software can play in implementing it, to achieve the business benefits of improved information quality and validation, as well as reduced operating risk and cost.”

Round Table Breakfast - Wednesday, April 10- 7:30am
