Cameron, a Schlumberger company since 2016, supplies wellhead, surface, and flow control equipment and systems to the oil and gas industry. In a highly regulated environment, that status demands extensive documentation, from quality control and compliance to test certificates. An inefficient legacy document archiving system meant final invoices and Manufacturer’s Record Books (MRBs), some as long as 5,000 pages, took up to four months to assemble, hampered by inconsistent formats, multiple sources, no centralized access, long document lifecycles, and missing or incomplete documentation.
Final invoices and MRBs, some with 5,000 pages, now take three weeks instead of four months. The costly, disconnected legacy archive was decommissioned, quality control is automated system-wide, and Cameron extended the utility and return on its SAP investment.
