Challenge

Projects are huge and can often take decades to complete and run in the billions. The company’s staff is vast, geographically dispersed, with tens of thousands of workers and includes a global network of suppliers and strategic partners. These professionals use hundreds of applications and generate information that is stored in thousands of different places in millions of documents. What’s needed is an ability to synthesize global content and data in all formats and languages into information that is relevant, secure and easy to access. This is needed for customer-facing personnel who access data from internal and external sources, field workers, and back-office personal all who need access to customer contracts, transaction history, digital communications, CRM data, policies, processes and/or procedures. Making mistakes can be life threatening and very costly.
