Solutions

Kronodoc solutions have been created from the understanding that in order to improve the performance of complex document intensive processes you need much more than just software. You also typically need in depth understanding of the process in hand, how to merge the software into the process, and instructions that describe unambiguously the information management responsibilities and liabilities of the process parties, and you need to ensure that these new responsibilities and liabilities become part of the daily work practice. This creates real efficiency, and an organization avoids frustration that is created if the purpose and way of using the software are unclear.

We have packaged the experience gained over the years on supporting and improving document intensive business processes, into Kronodoc solutions on the following application areas:

• Project and plant information management

In addition to the end product a great amount of documentation is created during widely networked deliveries of complex plants. Project document management, distribution, and delivery follow up are challenging when there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of documents involved with hundreds of parties involved in the delivery. Without a structured information management platform and clear rules and instructions the challenge is quite formidable. The project and plant document management solution packages the software, the rules and the instructions for the support of information management needed during complex plant delivery projects and the maintenance phase that follows. The solutions suits document management in small projects as well as it scales up to the information management over the lifecycle of super size ventures.

• Contract management

Contract management is routine work for all companies. The contract management solution supports systematic and efficient processing that contracts call for by defining the contract preparation, publishing, and maintenance processes and their support in the Kronodoc software. The functionalities in the Kronodoc software ensure the confidentiality of the contract information in all phases, and save a record of the information relevant to the contract processing.

All companies have internal development projects, or they deliver products and services to their customers through projects. Portfolio management solution supports processes related to project preparation, planning, management, change management, and decision making, and provides tools for the ones responsible for the project business for following up the project work as a whole.
