Business: Owned 43 percent by Eni and listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, Saipem is a global oil and gas industry contractor specialising in the design and construction of exploration, transport and processing infrastructure, including chemical and petrochemical plants and pipelines, both onshore and offshore.
Challenge: The increasing complexity of Saipem's work and the company’s expanding geographical reach require sophisticated project management. Saipem management therefore needed a way to manage the project life cycle and in particular the workforce, enabling the company to meet project requirements through efficient allocation of human resources.
Solution: Saipem found the answer to this problem in CA Clarity™ Project & Portfolio Management (PPM). Besides managing the various phases of the project life cycle CA Clarity PPM also enables the company to perform strategic long-term planning to meet business goals set by top management.
Result: CA Clarity PPM today manages more than 700 projects and is used by around 300 people, typically project managers, department heads, project control staff and HR managers. The solution gives Saipem a powerful tool for planning demand and resource capacity, fully integrated with the management control process, helping to support strategic decisions regarding project allocation.
