In the offshore industry compliance with codes and standards as well as governmental regulations is vital. Policies and procedures have to be communicated throughout the organization and changes to these should be easy to distribute.

Part of any company’s communication strategy can also be to make as much information as possible accessible for media, the public and other interested parties. These are all areas where Docmap^® has proven itself as a solid and cost effective tool to handle the companies' governing documentation and keeping this documentation up to date.

A result of this can be seen at Statoils webpage where company employees and the public use the same Docmap^® installation to find information.

Docmap^® modules are built around the quality circle, with focus on continuous improvement. To report deviations using the Observation & Improvement module and to post comments to existing documents are both important in the process of continuous improvement.
