Suncor Energy Services Inc. Chooses Open Text Solutions
Open TextT Corporation announced that Suncor Energy Services Inc. has chosen to extend its Open Text solutions, including IXOS Suite for SAP, and add Livelink to support integrated collaboration and content management activities throughout the enterprise.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Suncor is an integrated energy company, strategically focused on developing one of the world's largest petroleum resource basins - Canada's Athabasca oil sands. In 1967, Suncor made history by tapping the oil sands to produce the first commercial barrel of synthetic crude oil. Suncor today has operations in both Canada and the United States and has more than 4,000 employees.
In addition to existing solutions for SAP data and document archiving, Suncor plans on using Open Text to support the archiving of corporate e-mail, in order to capture and manage this content as items of corporate record. Suncor will also use Open Text to manage engineering drawings and content for its refinery facilities and integrate data from its SAP system to improve the management of resources and inventory needed to maintain these assets.
"Our ability to support ad hoc collaboration and unstructured content management alongside structured data is of critical importance to our customers, particularly in the highly regulated energy arena," said John Shackleton, President of Open Text. "Suncor recognized this challenge and has taken a major step forward to make collaboration easier, as well as to support the management of information and processes critical to its core business."
Solutions such as Suncor's will be among the broad range of capabilities Open Text will present at its upcoming annual user conference LinkUp Phoenix 2004, being held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, November 15-18. For more information, go to: http://www.opentext.com/linkup/
