Tecnimont is a leading provider of Engineering, Procurement andConstruction. It operates as a general contractor worldwide, witha specific focus on the oil & gas, petrochemicals, and fertilizer
processing industries. The firm is part of the Marie TecnimontGroup, a multinational and multicultural player with €2.4 billion
revenues in 2016, counting on 8,000 highly skilled professionals andheadquartered in Milan. It is market leader for installed capacity inpolyolefins plants (30 percent market share) and LDPE plants (40percent market share). The Group is also leader in licensing urea
synthesis plants (54 percent market share).
Tecnimont is a long-time user of OpenText™ Documentum™ for general
document management throughout the business. However, the solution
lacked the specialist capabilities required for the complex, high-value,and lengthy lifespan of the large capital projects it delivers.
“We handle tens of thousands of documents relating to ourprojects every month. Keeping track of document versions and thehundreds of thousands of changes that occur, both to the documents
themselves and the information or metadata around them, is a real
challenge to the business,”said Marco Spinelli, head of department
for project engineering and technical support services at Tecnimont. “Ittakes time, is very expensive, and costly mistakes can occur, affecting
safety in the construction and operation of the complex plants wedesign and build. We had to find a solution that would handle all of this,reduce our costs, improve efficiency, and enable greater collaboration
with our customers, partners, and suppliers.”
After evaluating OpenText Documentum Capital Projects, Tecnimont foundit to be the best fit for its needs and started to implement the solution.

Perfect fit for engineering workflows

With up to five engineering centers in different locations involved in eachproject, ensuring the tight control of documents and related informationis critical to the smooth progress of every project.
“Documentum Capital Projects has helped us improve our overall
document related processes, as it better follows our engineeringworkflows”, said Fabio Molinaro, IT Department, Document Management System at Tecnimont. “A number of our needs are met out of thebox, including managing distribution matrices, group management,and transaction handling rules. This all contributed to reducing theamount of time and money needed to tailor the solution, ultimately
helping us reduce our overall costs, as well as improve efficiency.”At any one time, Tecnimont has about 15 live capital projects withmore than 2,000 active users. Since implementing the solution, morethan 400,000 documents have been added, 80,000 in a two-month
period alone. In that time, the solution has securely handled around
180,000 documents.
“We needed a system that is able to distribute information in a
fast, secure, and reliable way. Documentum Capital Projects is thesolution that enables us to do this. You don’t normally realize you areeven using it, but when you have a problem, the solution is there tohelp you,” said Spinelli.

Quick, easy upload and capture saves timeThroughout the design and build phases of major capital projects, not only
are the documents, engineering drawings, financial and other calculations
changing, but the metadata about them does too.

“In just a two-month
period, we updated 1.5
million metadata items,
thanks to the quick andeasy data and content
upload capabilities ofthe solution.”

Capital Projects also manages. In just a two-month period, we updated
1.5 million metadata items, thanks to the quick and easy data andcontent upload capabilities of the solution,” said Spinelli.
With all information in one place and easily managed, it is importantthat users can quickly access what they need, wherever they are. Thesolution allows users to securely access the solution from both desktop
applications and a web browser.
“Our users welcome the positive experience the solution provides,
integrated to our company network and systems. With projects
from Iowa to Santo Domingo, offshore locations in Abu Dhabi andthe coast of the North Sea to the Caspian Sea, users are able to see
documents on location in real time as soon as they are generated,for example at our Milan or Mumbai locations,” said Molinaro.
The OpenText solution uses remote caching capabilities to ensure that
all content is seamlessly synchronized to multiple locations. Users thenconnect to their nearest server and don’t need to worry about whether
the content item they are accessing is the latest version or not, as thesolution ensures they are served the most up to date version.

Stability, speed, and security support future plans

With the solution well established and providing multiple benefits,plans are well advanced to implement the solution into another groupcompany of Marie Tecnimont.
“Working with the Professional Services team at OpenText, who took
the time to really understand our business and processes, we havecreated a very stable, fast and secure solution,” said Molinaro.
As part of the new deployment, additional capabilities will be implemented
to use cloud services from OpenText. This will help further increase
collaborative facilities with, for example, Tecnimont’s suppliers using
OpenText™ LEAP Supplier Exchange will help further streamline themanagement of transmittals and various contract deliverables, using
the OpenText Cloud.
“Documentum Capital Projects benefits both Tecnimont and ourclients. It allows us to adapt to their needs and adds value to ourbusiness and theirs too,” said Spinelli. “When we hand over a project
to a client, they can be assured they have all the documentation theyneed to operate even the most complex and remote plants, safely
and securely.”
