ABB Finland is Using Cadac Organice for Document Management and Project Collaboration
Cadac Organice has successfully implemented the Cadac Organice Solution Suite at the Business Unit Process Industry of ABB Finland. The solution supports ABB Finland in managing and collaborating on documents.
ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. ABB operates in more than 100 countries and has offices in 87 of those countries to give its global and local customers the support they need to develop and conduct their business successfully. ABB includes 5 businesses and serves various industries including oil and gas, power, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, metals and minerals, marine and turbocharging.
The business unit Process Industry of ABB in Finland has a Center of Excellence for Electrification, Instrumentation and Composite Plants. It includes an engineering team that executes EPC projects (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) for customers in the process industry. During a project the team easily creates around 4,000 documents. To support them in managing and collaborating on documents, ABB started to look for a document management solution. They chose and implemented Microsoft SharePoint and Cadac Organice, because they not only needed a solution for document management but also a platform for collaboration.
Malin Mannevaara, IS Project Manager at ABB Finland: “Cadac Organice not only allows us to manage AutoCAD drawings in SharePoint, it also offers us a lot more functionality and flexibility. We are now able to execute batch operations on documents, including check out/in and multiple file upload. Cadac Organice Explorer also extends the possibility to easily sort, group and filter documents in SharePoint, which makes it much easier for our engineers to work with documents. Documents are saved and stored in a proper project structure and version management helps us to manage multiple versions of documents and always retrieve the latest. With Cadac Organice we have improved the quality of document management for our business.”
