SOFTWARE INNOVATION RECEIVES TECHNOLOGY CONTRACT FROM CHEVRON
Part of “Major Capital Projects Information Management” system
Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario – May 17, 2006 - Software
Innovation has secured an important contract with Chevron Corporation
(NYSE: CVX), one of the world’s leading energy companies. The Coreworx™
solution to be deployed will enhance the ability of Chevron to manage
project execution content and processes.
Chevron selected Software Innovation’s Coreworx to be part of its
“Major Capital Projects Information Management” (MCPIM) systems after an
extensive review and evaluation process that encompassed the areas of
workflow, document management & control, transmittal management,
view/markup and other functional areas. The review process also focused
closely on integration, scalability, total cost of ownership and ease of
use. The overall goal was to evaluate the business and project processes
in which information was managed from FEED and detailed design, through
handover to operations and how those processes could best be supported
by technology.
“Chevron needed a solution that would support the propagation of best
practices and standards across the enterprise,” says Software Innovation
CEO Ray Simonson, “and the real trick was accomplishing that without
sacrificing the ability to quickly and easily reconfigure to meet the
unique needs of individual projects. Coreworx is purpose-built to
support the needs of the CAPEX environment, and so this challenge was
addressed by out-of-the-box functionality in our solution.”
