The energy and resources sector including utilities, oil and gas, chemicals, and metals & mining is one of the most hazardous in the world. The top hazards range from explosions and fires, chemical exposure, electrical hazards, dropped objects, machine related injuries, slips and falls, and many more. Despite the hazardous nature, the safety performance has continually improved over the last 4 decades.  For example, 2023 had one of the lowest property damage losses for the hydrocarbon industry. According to Marsh Specialty ‘100 largest losses’, just two incidents occurred in 2023 with a combined loss of approximately $600 million, one of the lowest loss years since 1987.  Also, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the incident rates of nonfatal occupational injuries for these industries ranged from 1.4 to 1.9, far below the average for all industries at 3.0. Despite this positive trend there’s plenty more room to reduce risk and advance along the ‘journey toward zero’ health, safety, and environment (HSE) incidents that every company in this sector is on. The power of root cause analysis Having worked in the energy industry for two decades and seen accidents and have been exposed to hazards, root causes analysis (RCA) was engrained in me by the organizations I worked for and served. RCA is a powerful tool that allows organizations to dive deep into HSE incidents or recurring problems, identifying and addressing the core issues that cause them. Unlike surface-level troubleshooting, RCA goes beyond symptoms to uncover systemic weaknesses. By systematically asking questions-often using methods like the ”5 Whys” or Fishbone diagrams – RCA helps organizations implement changes that prevent issues from recurring, leading to more safe and efficient operations.  Also ingrained in me was the belief that 100% of all incidents are preventable. Any business leader across this entire sector would agree and even reinforce this belief within their teams. There’s one simple equation that can help categorize identified root causes and to assist in finding solutions to prevent future incidents along the journey to zero. Information + human action = business outcomes All of us are tasked with creating positive business outcomes. Improved safety performance and reduction of risk are just two examples of business outcomes companies strive to improve upon across this sector. Any business outcome is created from two key ingredients, information and human action. Since this sector is asset intensive, this equation could easily be modified to be information + asset performance + human action = business outcomes. While assets are becoming more autonomous over time, these machines will always require human action in some shape or form. Humans are needed to install, operate, repair, and perform many other actions across the asset lifecycle. For simplicity, the more basic version of this equation will be focused on here. However, not just any information or human action will create business value. What was considered productive work decades ago may be considered unproductive today. The best use for human action is addressing tasks that machines don’t perform as well, as safely, or as cost effectively. Likewise, the best jobs for machines are tasks that humans don’t perform as well or as effectively. The best information can be trusted to boost human (and asset) productivity, free knowledge workers from manual and error-prone steps and minimize risk.  Just as human action needs to be managed to achieve business outcomes, so does information. So, the more accurate equation that is implied in this formula is that ‘management’ underpins all three components. If an accident were to occur and root cause analysis was performed, examples of failures from the management of human action might be; failure in work prioritization, procedure not followed, inadequate training, poor communication, fatigue, and many more. Performing the same exercise but for failures in information management might include outdated safety protocols, inaccurate asset documentation, poor visibility into the transaction status of spare parts, no predictive maintenance insights, emergency response information poorly communicated, and many more. Performing the same exercise using the longer form of the equation that includes asset performance, the root cause of an incident may stem from an asset failure however the solution will always be grounded in either improved human action management or information management. Gartner defines Information Management, as a method of using technology to collect, process and condense information with a goal of efficient management. OpenText executes to the spirit of that definition by organizing, connecting, automating, and protect data and in the case for energy & resources sector to safely and reliably deliver energy and essential commodities to the world.  The some of the root cause(s) of any incident likely stems from inadequate information management where information is disorganized, disconnected, unautomated, and/or unprotected.  Utilizing information management technologies and best practices can help continuously improve upon and eliminate these root causes for safer operations. Gen-AI combined with Information Management technologies and best practices will play a key role along that journey to zero. Gen-AI will play a key role along the journey to zero Generative AI places information at the fingertips of humans and has close ties to the information management domain. Great AI requires great information management because the results from generative AI will be more correct and trusted when information is organized, connected, automated, and secured. Here are some ‘art of the possible’ examples of Information Reimagined and how Gen-AI will play a key role along the journey to zero whether inadequacies in information management are identified as a root cause of an incident or whether a proactive approach to risk reduction is taken. Use an intelligent AI content assistant that puts chat-based conversational search, content discovery (ex. safety procedures, job safety analysis, material safety data sheets, emergency response plans, operating instructions, and much more), summarization, and translation at the speed of light. Trusted knowledge is available simply by asking a question. See OpenText Content Aviator for more detail. Ask a conversational Gen-AI, self-service advisor to gain better insights around supply chain transactions.  Examples might include “has a service order been placed for our next fire safety inspection?” Or “Is there fuel filter for Brand X in inventory at the Midland field office?” See OpenText Business Network Aviator for more detail. Know the location of personnel in hazardous areas, track the delivery of essential spare part replacements, and predict failures before they occur. See OpenText IoT Aviator for more detail. Through a conversational interface, find answers to keep people safe by analyzing 160+ repository types and 2,000 file types.   Examples might include “were there any abnormalities identified on the last drone inspection?” And “When is my H2S safety certification valid through?” See OpenText Aviator Search for more detail. Elevate customer communications with empathy during emergency response. Craft personalized messages for affected customers. See OpenText Experience Aviator for more detail. Tap the knowledge from IT & non-IT service tickets to quickly address unsafe situations.  Use a virtual subject matter expert, available 24/7, that speeds up issue resolution and suggests solutions to empower users to self-resolve potentially unsafe situations. See OpenText IT Operations Aviator for more detail. The post Improve safety using root cause analysis and strengthening information management appeared first on OpenText Blogs.

At Air France-KLM, we’re one of the global leaders in international air transport. Through our subsidiaries Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and Transavia, we offer passenger services, cargo transport, and aircraft maintenance flights to over 300 destinations. To transport our 83 million passengers a year, it’s vital that we keep our modern fleet of 522 aircraft in top condition. Commercial aviation is one of the safest ways to travel for a very good reason; like all leading global airlines, Air France-KLM follows rigorous and tightly regulated inspection and maintenance processes for all aircraft and airside equipment. Maintaining a world-class fleet Our aircraft are made up of thousands of individual components, each of which requires planned as well as unplanned maintenance. Every asset inspection and repair we carry out is associated with documentation: maintenance manuals and tech logs, work instructions, engineering drawings, and much more. With reference to these documents, our mechanics and engineers can perform their duties safely, efficiently, and accurately. For many years, all our documents were printed on paper, and our teams relied on hundreds of thousands of hard copies to do their work. New maintenance processes and airworthiness directives are released all the time—and with so many paper copies, it was a major effort to keep our records up to date. What’s more, the cost of storing all these paper documents was climbing and climbing every year. We knew we needed a different approach. Driving digital transformation That’s where our journey with OpenText™ began. Working together, we switched from paper records to digital documents, managed securely and efficiently in OpenText™ Documentum™. For more than two decades, Documentum has acted as the single source of truth for all our maintenance and engineering content—including data from industry vendors such as Airbus, Boeing, and General Electric. Today, 15,000 employees across the business rely on data in Documentum to perform their day-to-day work. For our aircraft engineers particularly, the solution had a massive impact on efficiency. Gone are the days of leafing through filing cabinets to find vital maintenance information—today, all the information they need is right at their fingertips. They simply enter a part number into Documentum, and they can navigate to the associated records immediately. We operate in a highly regulated industry, which makes OpenText the perfect fit for our compliance needs. The solution offers a watertight audit trial for every user action, helping us to demonstrate to our regulators that we are following the proper procedures for our maintenance activities. Soaring into cloud Documentum is such an important solution for our business that we continuously invest in extending and enhancing its capabilities. Over the years, we’ve integrated Documentum with our core business systems, including SAP® ERP and Salesforce®. One of our most recent projects was deploying Documentum D2 SmartView—a modern user experience that empowers our employees with personalized workspaces that make it even faster and easier to find the data they need. With some features still pending, we continue to partner with OpenText to help drive product roadmaps. At the moment, we’re planning our next big Documentum project—a move to the cloud. By bringing the solution to Azure, we’ll unlock all the familiar benefits of cloud: easier management and maintenance, lower infrastructure costs, and tighter information security. As an early adopter, Professional Services is helping us navigate vulnerabilities as we containerize in Azure. Working with OpenText, we’re going a step further. By deploying OpenText™ Extended ECM Documentum™ for SAP® Solutions alongside Documentum on the new cloud platform, we’ll enable our users to access data from our information management system directly from their SAP applications.

Fax machines, once ubiquitous in office environments, have long been associated with paper waste, energy consumption, and inefficiencies. However, with the advent of digital transformation, organizations are increasingly turning to cloud fax solutions to modernize their operations while embracing sustainability practices.  In today's digital age, relying on paper-based communication like traditional faxing is not just outdated—it's harmful to the planet. The massive paper waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions from fax machines are unsustainable. But with OpenText's Cloud Fax, we're flipping the script with a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.  Paperless operations: Cloud faxing eliminates the need for paper-based fax transmissions, reducing the consumption of resources such as trees, water, and energy used in paper production.  Energy efficiency: Unlike traditional fax machines that require constant power consumption, cloud fax solutions operate in energy-efficient data centers, minimizing carbon emissions and energy usage.  Reduced waste: Paper accounts for around 26% of total waste at landfills. By eliminating physical fax machines and paper waste, organizations can contribute to waste reduction efforts and promote a circular economy.  Global accessibility: Cloud faxing allows for seamless and secure communication from anywhere, reducing the need for physical transportation of documents and mitigating carbon emissions associated with transportation.  Scalability and flexibility: OpenText's cloud fax solutions offer scalability and flexibility, enabling businesses to adapt to changing needs without the constraints of physical infrastructure.  What can you do? Two words: print less. Of course, that’s far easier said than done when it comes to fax—unless you digitally transform your workflows, and then it will happen automatically. Imagine receiving faxes that are delivered direct to their recipients’ workstations or mobile devices, then printed only on demand. Imagine anti-fax-spam protocols. Imagine data from faxes being digested with optical character recognition (OCR), parsed with artificial intelligence (AI) capture, and then automatically plugged into relevant databases.  Save green while going green: Switching to digital fax solutions isn't just about saving trees—it's about saving money. These solutions cut down on consumables, save staff time, and eliminate the need for dedicated fax phone lines, paying for themselves with efficiency and savings.  By embracing digital transformation and leveraging innovative communication solutions, businesses can not only enhance their operations but also contribute positively to the environment.  Join us in creating a more sustainable and digitally empowered world, not just on Earth Day but every day. Let's make a difference together!  The post Going green with cloud fax appeared first on OpenText Blogs.
