Cadac Organice BV, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and developer of Cadac Organice (a SharePoint based solution for engineering document management and document control) announced today that the Koniambo Nickel Project in New Caledonia has implemented Cadac Organice to manage its operational documents.
The US$3.85 billion development of the massive Koniambo ore body is being managed by Koniambo Nickel SAS (KNS), a joint venture between Société Minière du Sud Pacifique, the development arm of the North Province government of New Caledonia (51%) and Xstrata Nickel (49%). The EPCM contract was awarded to a joint venture between Hatch and Technip and includes engineering, procurement and construction project management services.
To manage the operational documents for the project, Hatch has implemented Microsoft SharePoint and the Cadac Organice Product Suite as the Enterprise Content Management system. Cadac Organice Explorer is used to manage the electronic documentation in SharePoint required to support Operations, including engineering, quality, regulatory, specifications, vendor documents, procedures, policies and external communications. Cadac Organice Transmit will be used in the near future to distribute documents between the project partners using transmittals and to keep track of what was sent to whom, when and why. Furthermore, Cadac Organice Scan, Cadac Organice Publish and the Cadac Organice Document Numbering Tool to automatically generate document numbers for new documents in SharePoint have been implemented.
Cadac Organice is proud to add the Koniambo Nickel Project to its list of users in the mining and metals industry.
