ENI Saipem Standardizes on Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise Engineering and Design Solutions Suite
ENI Saipem S.p.A. will standardize on the Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise engineering solutions suite, including Smart 3D, Intergraph's next-generation 3D design software to further increase productivity and cost savings and to accelerate project schedules.
An Intergraph customer for 20 years, Saipem experienced significant benefits and productivity gains using Intergraph's plant design and information management software solutions. Saipem will now expand its use of these solutions, using Smart 3D as its new standard on a worldwide basis to enable complete integration in production within its onshore, offshore and drilling divisions and help the company maintain a competitive advantage in the global market. Smart 3D is available for both- onshore plant design (SmartPlant 3D) and offshore and ship design (SmartMarine 3D). Smart 3D is the industry's most advanced, most productive next-generation 3D design system on the market offering numerous unique capabilities including automated, rule-based design. Customers using Smart 3D typically report 20- to 35-percent increases in productivity.
SmartPlant Enterprise is an integrated solutions suite that provides full design, construction, materials and engineering data management capabilities needed for the creation, safe operation and maintenance, and capital Project Life Cycle Management (cPLM) of process, power and marine (offshore and shipbuilding) projects.
To review and achieve optimum production processes, Saipem recently started its Production Data Integration (PDI) program, a strategic initiative which specifies the usage of the fully integrated SmartPlant Enterprise suite for the design, procurement and construction of all new projects. The program encompasses all SmartPlant Enterprise solutions, including the SmartPlant Foundation and document management database, to interface with Saipem's in-house applications.
About Saipem S.p.A.

It has a competitive position for the provision of EPIC/EPC services to the oil industry both onshore and offshore; with a particular focus on the toughest and most technologically challenging projects - activities in remote areas, deepwater, gas, and difficult oil. Its drilling services continue to be distinctive, operating in many of the oil & gas industry's 'hotspots', frequently in synergy with the Group's onshore and offshore activities. The new Group is a global contractor, with strong local presence in strategic and emerging areas such as West Africa and FSU, Central Asia, Middle East, North Africa and South East Asia.
