Seamless information handover delivers operational agility at K+S Potash Canada

Enabling more efficient global collaboration by centralizing design and engineering data in the cloud.

K+S Potash wanted to simplify access to design and engineering information to allow global remote collaboration without requiring a significant mobilization of office staff. It needed to create a strategy for a smooth information handover while ensuring consistent data across multiple disciplines, sites and teams, as well as third-party providers. By centralizing its data in the cloud, K+S Potash has enabled fast and easy access to real-time, integrated data and more efficient collaboration.

"There’s nothing better out there. AVEVA was the best fit for what we need. It’s a multidiscipline software. I’ve never seen a software encompass so many disciplines within one package." - Orlando Amaral, Engineering Systems Administrator, K+S Potash
