Keeping a handle on documents can be the bane of any company’s life. As part of its integration process, VDM Group introduced the VBM business information and data management system across 14 separate VDM Consulting sites. VDM Consulting chief operating officer Bob Gregg has a vision of positioning the division for the upswing likely to come in the resources sector.
“Our main motivator for investing in a new information management system was improving our collaboration capabilities and delivering better business outcomes through standardisation and greater efficiencies,” he said. “It has empowered the consulting division to control our information and intellectual property and allowed us to immediately raise the bar when it comes to client service and delivery.”
VantageKey managing director Dee Broadmore said service companies around the world were under mounting pressure to ensure their information management systems were fully auditable and trackable and that simple storage and retrieval email facilities were no longer appropriate.
“The legal compliance requirements on large, complex projects both here and overseas are huge and so are the risks associated with the loss of intellectual property,” she said.
“VBM works on existing software systems and has a range of built-in unique features including automated transmittals, create, import and export facilities, advanced email, linking and document tracking capabilities.
“It delivers a common platform for all users, state-of-the-art information management without the need for separate layers of technology, and is user friendly at all levels of an organisation as opposed to requiring in-house IT experts to manage the system.
