Digitalisation Reimagined: From Chaos to Structured Intelligence
Digitalisation did not fail because the technology was bad. It failed because most organisations built speed on top of unstable, unstructured data. The next phase of industrial digitalisation is not about adding more tools; it

Compliance Isn’t Broken – It’s Blind
Introduction In complex industries like energy, utilities, and mining, the handover from capital project to operations is a critical moment. Assets shift from development into live use. Documentation is finalized. Control is, in theory, transferred.

Joint Ventures and Asset Divestment
Introduction When joint ventures end or assets change hands, documentation often gets left behind, or worse, loses all structure and traceability. In this expert article, we explore why continuity breaks down during divestments and

From Closeout to Continuity: Why Document Control Must Survive Project Handover
Introduction In complex industries like energy, utilities, and mining, the handover from capital project to operations is a critical moment. Assets shift from development into live use. Documentation is finalized. Control is, in theory, transferred.

Beyond the Mirror: Why Digital Twins Are Only as Smart as the Information Behind Them
Introduction Digital Twins are reshaping how asset-intensive industries operate. With dynamic 3D models, real-time data feeds, and simulation capabilities, they promise to transform planning, operations, and maintenance. But here’s the truth few say out loud:

Concurrent Engineering in Assai: Smart Collaboration on Maintenance and Projects
Managing operational assets inevitably involves maintenance, repairs, and modifications. Whether it’s scheduled maintenance, expansions, or partial decommissioning, proper documentation is key.

Apples and oranges: What sets Assai apart from other DMS?
The DMS selection maze Document Management Systems (DMS or EDMS) come in many shapes and forms; no two are the same and they can be hard to compare. Just filtering on the software category ‘DMS’
