For almost 50 years, AVEVA software has enabled the creation of some of the world’s most complex power and process plants, vessels and offshore facilities.
DowAksa needed to increase the efficiency and integration of engineering and design works for its existing facilities and future projects.
“We needed to improve quality and integration of engineering data and increase efficiency across departments. One of our key goals is to save money for our customers, and that means making savings at every stage of processes. Key to this is quickly and cost-effectively completing projects that improve our cost structure. So we had to become more efficient in project execution,” DowAksa Turkey General Manager Betül Sadıkoğlu said.
“AVEVA presented an integrated approach that we can mandate to our projects, and which enables us to incrementally add new disciplines as we need them,” Sadıkoğlu added.
