Choosing the Right Software

The different software packages offer varying capabilities and flexibility. However, it should be kept in mind that the latest software will not guarantee project success. Instead, software decisions should be driven by the scope of the indented use. The scope is determined by assessing the needs or requirements that must be served to satisfy the project objective. Microsoft.Net technology enables unprecedented levels of software integration through use of extensible language (XML) web services – small, discrete building blocks that connect to each other as well as larger applications through the use of Internet.

On the other hand, Microsoft Project/Primavera Enterprise helps one to manage schedules, resource project status and project information report. It provides organizations with an extensible technology platform to securely develop and successfully deploy best practices for project management across the organization.

Insights in a Refinery Turnaround

Pit Stop for a Refinery – The Turnaround–Challenge

Initiatives on the part of the government in terms of bringing in competition and putting an end to monopoly would provide more opportunities for the EPC players. Bandwidth and infrastructure are two significant areas which require individual focus in order to further enhance the role of IT in project management. Over the coming years, investment in IT is going to grow three fold (e-commerce, e-procurement and other such technologies). It is therefore left to the decision makers to make proper investment in the right software and make the most of talent as well as the tool (software).

Rule Based and Relationship Driven

3D modeling helps companies by using latest global design codes and standards to help prevent substandard design regulatory violations, costly and potentially dangerous system failures in plants and piping systems that operate under extreme pressures, temperatures and conditions. 3D modeling offers a solution to create as quickly as possible from existing designs or licensors.

The solution is rule based and relationship driven to promote design consistency through the complete design process. Of course, integration is a key element in passing the data in a controlled manner between the engineering tasks, such as instrument and electrical design as well as physical 3D modeling.

Safety, integrity management, regulatory compliance, time to market, operational uptime – all of these are factors for which the oil and gas market depends on quality information. 3D modeling offers the longest track record in the industry for delivering integrated engineering information throughout an asset’s life cycle.
