The EMC Engineering, Plant, and Facilities Management (EPFM) solution helps organizations address challenges in plant operation, maintenance, and environmental, health, and safety compliance. It provides secure access to engineering drawings and content across the project lifecycle from feasibility to decommissioning. The solution is based on EMC Documentum and follows industry standards, configurations over customization, and interoperability to integrate applications and lower costs. It offers capabilities like role-based security, document lifecycles, and metadata population to manage content across the energy industry.

EMC Engineering, Plant,
and Facilities Management
(EPFM) Solution
Lower project risk, improve collaboration, and
ensure EHS compliance
The Big Picture Organizations that design, construct, operate and maintain large plants and facilities are facing
• Accelerate project execution by
growing competition and increased EHS (environmental, health, and safety) oversight. To help them
optimizing critical business processes address these critical business challenges, EMC offers a series of EPFM solutions to improve plant
with EMC Documentum operation and maintenance, while ensuring EHS regulatory compliance.
• Reduce unplanned plant downtime by
delivering the right content faster During the six phases on the lifecycle of a plant (feasibility, design, construct, operate, renew, and
decommission), significant content and processes are shared between individuals and internal and
• Improve the plant handover process by
securely managing key project data external organizations. As a result, project owners face several critical issues. Information is often
lost between project phases, which delays completion and increases overall project cost. The lack
• Lower the risk of EHS non-compliance
by improving collaboration inside and of integration between custom-built systems drives up IT costs. And the risks and costs of non-
outside the firewall compliance with EHS regulations are unacceptably high.
• Optimize the plant maintenance process
with enterprise content management (ECM)
Implementation of the EMC® Documentum®-based Engineering, Plant, and Facilities Management
and maintenance systems integration (EPFM) solution ensures compliance with industry regulations to reduce the risk of plant shutdown
and downtime, The solution provides secure, efficient access to ”as built” engineering drawings
enterprise-wide, as well as across enterprise boundaries, streamlining business processes that rely
upon efficient access to engineering content. The solution also reduces user training and deployment
costs and enables interoperability between applications.
Guiding principles
Three key guiding principles were used to develop the EPFM solution:
Industry standards
The solution follows industry best practices, metadata, and standards, accelerating time-to-value and
improving the ROI timeline.
Business readiness
Focused on configuration instead of customization, the solution is business-ready and can be easily
adapted to the changing needs of the project owner.
Interoperability
With a standard architecture, the solution ensures interoperability between the various applications,
resulting in lower TCO (total cost of ownership) and a true enterprise-level system.
A solid foundation—Documentum
With a single platform, Documentum enables you to collaboratively create, manage, deliver, and archive
the content that drives business operations. The Documentum platform makes it possible to distribute
all of this content across internal and external systems, applications, and user communities.
The EPFM solution is a best-practice implementation of Documentum, greatly simplifying the complexities
of content management. The solution follows a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and has been designed
for rapid deployment and easy adoption.

• Oil and gas
• Utilities
• Architectural engineering and construction
EMC Engineering, Plant, and Facilities Management (EPFM) Solution
The solution includes these key capabilities:
• Information governance through role-based security
• Simple document lifecycle and access control based on business document type
• Easy-to-use configuration options that give users control over their content
• Automatic metadata population, inherited from the folder hierarchy and document templates
• Folder templates that can encapsulate structure and containment rules
Meeting energy industry needs
With a standards-based platform and world-class partner integrations, EMC enables you to leverage
Documentum throughout your organization, which can help you exploit the natural relationships
between content and processes that start in exploration and power generation and extend all the
way through business operations. As a result, your business becomes more agile, more responsive,
and more competitive. Comprising thousands of the world’s most successful energy organizations,
Documentum customers harness corporate knowledge, accelerate time-to-market, increase client
satisfaction, enhance supply chain efficiencies, and reduce operating costs—improving their overall
competitive advantage.
