EMC Delivers New Solution to Transform Processes for Designing, Building and Operating Complex Plants

Key Facts:

  • EMC® Documentum® Engineering Plant and Facilities Management (EPFM) makes project execution less complicated with repeatable, industry-based solutions
  • Rapid deployment for faster and cheaper project delivery and rollout; lower cost of ownership
  • Customer Etihad Rail deploys Documentum EPFM for construction of major railway across United Arab Emirates (UAE)

EMC Corporation today announced the availability and initial customer success with the EMC® Documentum® Engineering Plant and Facilities Management (EPFM) solution. Documentum EPFM reduces the risk of project shutdown or downtime by providing secure, efficient access to "as built" engineering drawings and related content.

The Documentum EPFM solution was built in response to common challenges faced by energy plants, engineering and construction companies and facilities teams within large enterprises, namely misplacement and/or loss of critical project data, lack of collaboration and content sharing, and high risk due to non-compliance. Documentum EPFM focuses on highly project-centric and repeated processes for managing large numbers of documents and validating bulk imports of documents. It also supports collaboration across multiple parties (employees, clients, partners and regulators).

Customer Benefits:

  • Accelerate project execution by optimizing critical business processes with EMC Documentum
  • Reduce unplanned downtime by delivering the right content faster
  • Lower the risk of Environmental Health Standards (EHS) non-compliance by improving collaboration inside and outside the firewall
  • Optimize the plant maintenance process with enterprise content management (ECM) and maintenance systems integration

Built on top of the EMC Documentum platform, the EPFM solution includes easy-to-use configuration options to give users control over content; comprehensive information governance through role-based security, and simple document lifecycle and access control based on business document type.

Etihad Rail was formed to manage the development, construction and operation of the national railway for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to link the principal centers of population and industry across the region. Whether it is providing safe, reliable journeys for residents, transporting sulphur for exportation, or moving steel and other raw materials, Etihad Rail and its network of clients aim to serve as a symbol of national pride. Looking to gain time-to-market advantage and a comprehensive solution that would enable the company to deliver projects on-time and in scope, Etihad Rail selected the Documentum EPFM solution to optimize key business processes, accelerate project execution and achieve regulatory compliance. The company is working with the EMC Information Intelligence Group Services team on the implementation.
