Solutions ME assists Nakilat in automating electronic fax communication across the enterpriseby deploying Open Text's best-of-breeds RightFax Enterprise Suite 9.3
Established by State of Qatar, Nakilat - also known as Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd., is an indispensable link in the supply chain of some of the largest and most advanced energy projects in the world undertaken by Qatar Petroleum, Qatargas, and Rasgas. It operates and manages LNG vessels and also provides shipping and marine-related services to participants within the Qatari hydrocarbon sector. Nakilat aims to be the largest LNG ship owners by 2010 with a joint and wholly owned fleet of 54 vessels, representing approximately USD 11 billion. The fleet comprises of 9 Conventional vessels (145m³), 31 Q-Flex vessels (210-216m³) and 14 Q-Max vessels (263-266m³), all being the world's largest LNG vessels built till today.
In such massive operational expansion, the efficient delivery of business communication materializing minute by minute between departments and external parties like international shipping companies, ships, government agencies, financial institutions and suppliers needed to be extremely seamless and transparent. More over traditional ways of communication were adding on to cost overheads, vulnerability of information pilferage, and non-coherent methods of retrieval and archival of various pieces of communications. Nakilat was looking for a vendor who could provide a solution that could automate their entire business communication lifecycle, making it more compliant and robust.
Solutions Middle East, the most trusted technology provider in Middle East, interacted with Nakilat's management to deeply understand the problem areas. Post the analysis phase, Mathew Thomas, Project Manager at Solutions ME, recommended Nakilat to install RightFax Enterprise Suite 9.3 from Captaris.Captaris, now Open Text, is a bellwether in providing industry class electronic document management solutions. RightFax is a recognized market leader in fax server, document delivery and fax software and delivers reliable and robust fax software solutions to integrate and automate the flow of a entire array of fax, paper and electronic documents and data.
With the deployment of RightFax Enterprise Suite 9.3, Nakilat is experiencing significant cost reductions, reduced transaction times to ensure on time and on budget deliveries. By using a RightFax fax server, Nakilat can now deliver business information from any application via fax, email, print devices or over the Internet. Using Cisco based IP telephony and Microsoft Exchange based mail platform they have rolled out the RightFax based system across disparate locations. Such is the impact on Nakilat's productivity and bottom line, that in Phase II they plan to integrate RightFax with SAP to automate and speedup financial transaction documents.
