People: Experienced Document Control and Project Professionals

Across the sectors we support, there are varying levels of perception on the value of document control. As a result, staffing this function can often be considered a low priority in comparison to other engineering disciplines.

Some companies view document control as a basic administration function or rely on IT and software alone to solve the inherent challenges. General thinking is that, ‘A well managed spread sheet is all we need’, or ‘we already have a content management system’.

All disciplines rely on accurate information handling. Inefficient document control slows overall project performance and increases risk through incomplete audit trails, which in turn reduces the ability to defend claims. These (and other) important factors can only be managed effectively by experienced, high quality personnel. That said, even the best staff cannot guarantee success without adequate procedures and effective software to support them.

So what’s different about us?

In keeping with constant market evolution, in addition to the traditional Talascend engineering resources, we offer experienced document control professionals and information management/technology resources. Regardless of the solution you have invested in, it will require experienced staff to maximize efficiency and mitigate the risk involved in document handling and deliverable exchange.
