Engineering Information AS It Should Be™

CLS360™ Class Library System to define Engineering Information requirements

CLS360 is a leading information management solution for defining and managing both
corporate and project specific engineering information requirements within a granular and
rigorous data governance framework.

Managing information requirements in this way is acknowledged as the first step in providing substantial economic
benefits throughout the lifecycle of Capital Projects and onwards into Operations. It brings the power of globally
accessible web-based technology to the engineering desktop and underpins the delivery of complete, accurate and
consistent information. CLS360 enables companies to efficiently bring new facilities on-stream faster and optimise
their data management for a higher return on investment.

CLS360 Benefits The Challenge: Adapting to Change, Maintaining

CLS360, delivered as Software as a Service, provides leading
edge class library management and is based on pragmatic
project experience gained over 20 years.
Reduce project start up costs by up to 5% of IM budget.
Enable re-use and continuity of corporate memory, producing
savings on training and helping optimise lessons learnt
exercises.
Consistent delivery of class library definitions to all corporate
and project software systems maintains data governance
integrity.
Standards, Optimise Business Performance
 Across the process industries, companies are
faced with global economic challenges, dynamic
market conditions, stringent health and safety
regulations and pressure to reduce time to market.
 With continued volatility in hydrocarbon and
energy prices, oil and gas producers and E+C
firms must creatively reduce capital and operating
costs and increase information management
efficiency.

The Datum360 Solution:

Rigorous software and
governance framework
to define accurate
Information needs

CLS360 specifies at a granular level what

attributes and documents are expected
for each type tag or equipment with
associated validation rules.

CLS30 supports automatic generation of

the information handover specification.

CLS360 relates these detailed and

advanced requirements to conventional
specifications and deliverables.

CLS360 shares these specifications

securely and globally.
