Electronic document and records management

Increasingly, E&P companies recognise that more and more valuable information is kept in ‘unstructured' electronic forms, for example MS Office files, images, videos, email archive files etc. However, many companies still store and manage the bulk of this information on network shared drives. Complex hierarchical folder structures, uncontrolled document duplication, huge volumes of old or outdated information and personal or local ‘silo-ing' of files quickly creates accessibility and security problems for information, and undermines trust in what can be found.

Venture has been a key partner in the implementation and support of document and records management systems in oil and gas companies for many years. We understand the benefits and potential pitfalls of EDM, and can help you achieve better information access and confidence in information, as well meet your compliance drivers, through deployment of improved electronic document and records management.

This can be done at one end through significant improvements to your shared network drives and at the other through implementation and population of a properly structure EDM system appropriate to your needs.
