MODEC Inc, a specialist of floating production systems for the offshore oil and gas industry, has chosen business process management (BPM) software by Promapp Solutions for its Ghana operation
MODEC will deploy Promapp’s BPM software to simplify processes for both on-shore and off-shore operations.
Richard Cole, project manager at MODEC Ghana Ltd, said, “When managing off shore oil and gas platforms, our management system is a major component in how we manage risks associated with operating offshore facilities. We felt we needed to cut through some of the complexity of our existing processes that were sometimes highly technical.”
He continued, “Many of our procedures were based on the knowledge of key personnel and at our Ghana operations, where there is a mix of nationalities, English is not always the first language. By investing in a centralised easy-to-use web-based process management solution, we can give more staff the ability to capture, access, and change procedures. These will then be universally understood by all relevant parties including both internal teams and also our clients.”
Speaking about the Promapp’s software, he commented, “We felt that Promapp was fit for purpose and we wanted something that would be very straightforward to use from any location. Bandwidth can be an issue for remote operations so the fact that it is in the cloud rather than replicated on multiple servers in different locations, means that process and procedure information will always be easy to retrieve, understand and manage.”
Richard concluded that the company looks forward to explore Promapp’s process variant management module that aims to save resources when creating particular processes in the supply chain.
Currently MODEC Ghana has around 700 processes. The company further plans to streamline these by a third using Promapp.
Promapp’s cloud-based BPM software aims to create and change business processes, with a view to enabling quality assurance, risk management and business continuity.
