When you’re looking for a suite of enterprise scale engineering document control applications, designed specifically to support the lifecycle of an operational asset to help ensure safe, efficient and compliant capital projects and assets operations, enterprise engineer is certainly the way to go.

Enterprise engineering applies the knowledge and methods of systems engineering to the design of businesses, examining each aspect of the enterprise as it goes along and able to focus on whole projects or specific aspects.

Designed for owner operators and EPC contractors to manage the collaboration and document control processes throughout the lifecycle of an asset, enterprise engineer is a user friendly solution that helps the company to ensure that business processes are consistently followed by all users, while also providing the management with visible and auditable results.

One of the biggest bonuses to enterprise engineer is that it can be made available in a choice of formats, ranging from on-premise, hosted by the manufacturer or by enterprise content management platforms, known as EMC.

The process involves formal methods and techniques which are designed, tested and used extensively in order to offer the user reusable business process solutions, all of which are suited to modeling an enterprise.

Enterprise suites can provide far more than just engineering packages, and can cover asset documentation. The built-in processes ensure that both the master and released documents are synchronized, allowing you to keep a full audit trail, which is something that a lot of organisations not currently using enterprise engineering packages struggle to maintain. Your staff can then track and verify the document control processes and ensure that both are compliant and up to date.
