System of Record & Engagement with Your GIS
Moving Beyond Initial Compliance
Creating a comprehensive system of record is a massive effort, and without the right repositories, databases, or management tools, the data can become stale. The latest regulations require operators to manage an asset for its entire lifecycle while retaining historical references and documents. Beyond your initial document and data management, SSP can help build ongoing compliance directly into your normal worflow. We can help you innovate with improved GIS technology and processes for capital design & ordering, field data collection, and asset lifecycle management.
Integrity & Risk Management
The data stored in your system of record is only as good as your managed views into it. SSP has years of experience building and refining the data models that can let you run a variety of integrity management analytics. Whether you need to generate risk calculations (relative or probabilistic) or compare year-over-year snapshots for MAOP and HCA regulatory requirements, we can help. From simple, web-based editing maps to integrity-focused viewing and reporting applications, we can work with you to identify and implement the right tool to support all your viewing and reporting needs.
