MRO Master Data Management for a leading $12Bn Oil and Gas company

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.

About the company:

This US based company is a global leader in providing essential mechanical components for both land and offshore drilling rigs, complete drilling and well servicing rigs, as well as a comprehensive range of tubular inspection, internal coatings, drill string equipment, lifting and handling gear, and downhole drilling tools.
