We have served the Fortune 100 since 1991, implementing enterprise content management and product lifecycle management systems that deliver exceptional value, functionality, and competitive advantage.
We are staffed by a team of very experienced information technology professionals that understand the business processes within highly regulated manufacturing environments. We deliver robust information management solutions for mission-critical operations.
Petroleum refineries and chemical plants are a major focus for our consulting practice. Gateway has been frequently engaged to develop information management strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes in these highly regulated environments. Gateway's team of information technology professionals are highly qualified to implement an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution for the applications described below.
Drawings and P&ID's are utilized in support of plant operations, maintenance and capital projects. Managing drawing numbers, revisions and version control can be particularly daunting in this sector due to the reliance on outside contractors and the long retention times for this technical content. Gateway has extensive experience in all aspects of drawing capture, rendition processing and data migration into ECM systems. We excel in all aspects of plant data modeling needed to navigate the relationships between plant assets and the supporting technical content.
Management of Change (MOC) is the key business process to examine in order to improve process safety, environmental protection and reliability. Gateway has utilized Enterprise Content Management applications to optimize MOC processes and reduce plant operating costs. Gateway leads the field in establishing and implementing MOC Best Practices. Gateway's President and Senior Principal Consultant, Dr. Rainer Hoff, has invested years of research into the subject of Management of Change and will soon be publishing "MOC Best Practices" and offers subscribers free access to the monthly MOC Best Practices Newsletter.
Capital Projects are crucial for maintaining and expanding plant productivity in the petrochemical industry. There are substantial benefits to be gained by utilizing Enterprise Content Management technology through all phases of a capital project. Gateway has extensive expertise in the development of hybrid solutions that facilitate data exchange, workflow and program management between contractor and the plant owner-operator.
Records Management and eMail are the top two information management issues facing executives in the process industry. The need to manage records for the life of the plant plus thirty years puts special information management demands on this sector. Also the need to manage corporate content in support of contractual negotiations or litigation is a major driver for Enterprise Content Management technology. Gateway has extensive experience in designing and implementing ECM-based records management taxonomies for petrochem and process plants.
