One of the world's largest gold companies
Newcrest Mining Limited ('Newcrest'), headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, is a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange and Port Moresby Stock Exchange operating in the global mining sector. As at 31 May 2011, Newcrest’s market capitalisation was approximately A$30 billion. Newcrest is the fourth largest gold company in the world by market capitalisation and has a workforce of over 13,000 employees and contractors.
Managing controlled documents for asset management
Newcrest Mining was in need of a solution to manage controlled documents for Asset Management. These documents include engineering drawings, engineering standards, safe work instructions and corporate policy documentation relating to the execution of effective and efficient asset management processes.
Engineering document management and control with SharePoint
The solution selected had to align with Newcrest’s Knowledge Management strategy, which includes Microsoft SharePoint for Enterprise Content Management and Collaboration. The Cadac Organice product suite is entirely based on SharePoint and enhances SharePoint with functionality for engineering document management and document control. After a successful prototype, to ensure Cadac Organice aligned with the business and functional requirements of Newcrest Mining, a full roll out is planned. This rollout includes Cadac Organice Explorer for engineering document management, Cadac Organice Workbox for workflow management, Cadac Organice Transmit for transmittal management and Cadac Organice Publish for publishing and converting documents. Further the project includes the integration between SharePoint and project information in SAP.
