Solutions: Chemical, Oil & Gas
Chemical, oil, and gas companies invest significant resources in ECM systems to realize benefits such as increased plant efficiency, streamlined contract management processes, and improved safety and emergency response. In order to realize a return on investment, it’s imperative to protect the data within the ECM repositories which can include plant drawings, contracts, and material safety data sheets, along with their associated audit trails, digital signatures and other critical metadata.
Chronic, logical errors are a big threat to ECM assets, causing more than 80% of all data loss and corruption*. Affecting one, several, or thousands of ECM repository objects, these failures can be devastating to companies in this industry, which are faced with numerous regulatory and legal initiatives requiring the preservation and accessibility of information such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and the OSHA Hazard Communications Standard. 
Ramifications of logical failures can include stiff fines and penalties, decreases in stock value, and loss of potential revenue, productivity, and customer goodwill.
CYA has helped leading chemical, oil, and gas companies safeguard and optimize their ECM investments for close to a decade by:
- Facilitating compliance with initiatives requiring the capture, preservation and production of native electronic content and audit trails.
- Ensuring business continuity and 24x7 access to accurate ECM information
- Enabling fast, granular recovery of ECM objects in response to logical errors
- Mitigating the need to bring users offline for synchronized backup and/or recovery operations.
- Minimizing recovery times and data loss in the event of disaster via seamless integration with traditional backup and recovery solutions including EMC NetWorker, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and Symantec Veritas NetBackup.
