It can improve coordination and collaboration across functions such as Maintenance, Operations, Planning, HSE and Engineering to optimise production efficiency, lower operational risk and improve policy management.  

"Proscient allows organizations to better manage workload against risk in the dynamic context of frontline operations.  With a common view of risk across operations, organizations can better prioritise work according to risk, criticality and capacity and thus build execution into the work plan," said Mike Neill, President of Petrotechnics USA.  Neill added: "With easy to use and intuitive decision making tools embedded in the technology, Proscient provides the platform to not only understand risk, but proactively manage it. I think this is where we make a difference and why we've been chosen. Proscient can help drive operational efficiencies and improved asset integrity health leading to a reduction in the maintenance backlogs, increase wrench-time, and a lowering of operational risk.  Being recognised for this, alongside the likes of Honeywell, Devon Energy and Anadarko is a significant milestone for us - we're honoured to be nominated."
