OSyS Solution for Global Process Change and Incident Management Selected by Suncor Energy

Optimized Systems and Solutions, Inc. (OSyS) announced today that Suncor Energy has selected the OSyS Knowledge Management System (KMS) solution for enterprise-wide management of change (MOC) and incident management.

“We are very pleased that Suncor chose OSYS,” said Cory Gendron, Regional VP Americas, “and we are sure it will serve their particular needs very well. KMS provides a truly connected environment where all critical functions will see the outcome of actions, share best practices in real time and help make informed decisions.”

“Our KMS solution is used to record investigation findings to facilitate tracking, trending and shared learning. All parties impacted or involved understand corrective actions and therefore, incident repeatability drops, which can result in substantial cost savings. We make considerable investment in our products to ensure that they deliver the maximum ROI, not a short-term fix that companies would outgrow in a few years. Being flexible enough to serve any size and breadth of operation is a strong factor in our favor.”

Implementation services across the Suncor enterprise will also be provided by OSyS. KMS.net^TM is being used by over 30 major companies in the oil and gas industry, covering the business areas of upstream, midstream and downstream. Companies responsible for 68% of the U.S. oil refining capacity are utilizing OSyS’ KMS solution. By automating critical business processes, organizations using KMS reduce the time required to manage change, track and correct actions, share preventive procedures, conduct process hazard analyses, audit facilities and manage incident investigations.

Well-publicized industry events are driving changes in corporate strategy and more attention to universal asset and risk management. Environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance is under the same pressure. KMS.net is an effective process management solution that enables companies to respond to, and even stay ahead of, evolving governmental regulations and changing industry standards.
