Oil and Gas organizations face huge unwanted costs in the form of losses, penalties and compensation due to industrial accidents, taking a sizable chunk of their revenues. One of the important reasons for failures and accidents is the breakdown of key industrial infrastructure arising from ineffective management of the material base and inefficiencies in the MRO supply chain that are highly critical for the production and maintenance cycles.
More and more organizations are now looking to establish Master Data Management (MDM) implementations in order to manage their assets through informed decision-making based on reliable data and ensure optimal industrial safety across the enterprise.
