Cadac Organice ensures Nexus that all activity related to capital spend is properly documented and auditable
Heerlen, the Netherlands - Cadac Organice, a Microsoft Gold ISV Partner, announces today that Nexus has implemented its SharePoint based solution for Engineering Document Management and Control. Cadac Organice ensures Nexus that all activity related to capital spend is properly documented and auditable.
Nexus is the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive and is undertaking a Capital Expenditure Program, focused on the Metro system, of GBP 385 M+ over the next 11 years. As a publicly funded organization, Nexus needs to ensure that all activity related to the capital spend is properly documented and auditable. It was felt by management that Document Control was not as tight and organized as desirable. The choice was made to implement an EDM solution based on Cadac Organice and Microsoft SharePoint.
In a 1st phase Cadac Organice is predominantly implemented for the Engineering and Drawing Departments (a total of 50 users), with a view to expand the use in a 2nd phase to the Project Management Office and the direct collaboration with external contractors and consultants. Having started with the basic module Cadac Organice Explorer, Nexus expects to expand the use also to Cadac Organice Transmit for the formalized exchange of documentation with contractors and consultants, and Cadac Organice Workbox to automate timely follow-up and responses.
The lead of the project was allocated to a senior Health & Safety Engineer, who had experience with document control processes elsewhere. "Cadac Organice as a vendor was contracted to work through a structured implementation of the solution, based on a "Best Practice Template", which was subsequently tuned to fit our needs. Not only is the Cadac Organice solution natively built on SharePoint, which allows us to align our applications, it also proves to be a very intuitive and user friendly application with which our users can do everything they need to do in their work and much more efficiently than before!"
