Eikos Software Systems - Eikos
Eikos Software Systems Limited (ESS) provides advanced web-based
business process management for the upstream oil and gas industry,
with a particular focus on drilling project management.
Need
Business processes in the upstream oil and gas industry are
complex, regulated and subjected to internal and external scrutiny.
A new web-based product was required that could offer powerful
content management functionality, detailed project tracking and
extensive reporting.
To address this, ESS was looking for a specialist software
company. We were selected as we were able to help define the
specification of the new product, build it efficiently and support
the product for multiple international clients.
Solution
Eikos is a multi-user, web based application based on an SAAS
(software as a service) licensing model. Eikos is designed to:
- Be a sophisticated tool, capable of handling multiple
processes
- Provide a visual interface, allowing users to easily gain an
understanding of a project's status
- Be simple to install and is browser based
- Operate from anywhere, integrating corporate and local
requirements
- Generate project management reports including Gantt and RACI,
plus full project reports
Benefits
John McIntosh, ESS's Operations Director, believes Eikos has
provided numerous benefits: "Any user, at any location, at any
time, can easily gain an understanding of the process they are
expected to follow.
"In reality, requirements may change as a project progresses;
Eikos supports continuous process improvement by distributing
incremental changes through live projects while preserving intact
the records of completed tasks.
John added: "The quality of the software has meant that we have
been able to scale our services to an increasing number of
customers and Codify has really helped us to implement and develop
what has proved to be an effective product. We have extensive
additional development requirements and look forward to
implementing regular upgrades to maintain our best-in-class
product.
"Codify's development record is excellent and their support
service is second to none. In fact we have just renewed our support
contract for another three years."
