BlueCielo ECM Solutions develops and markets Asset Information Management (“AIM”) solutions to owners and operators. Its solutions help customers to manage their assets more efficiently, thereby realizing significant cost savings, improving compliance and mitigating risk. BlueCielo’s solutions are in particular relevant in capital intensive industries, like oil & gas, chemicals and energy.
BlueCielo’s products ensure that all the documentation regarding specific assets (e.g. machines, production facilities) is up-to-date and readily available. This is highly important for the maintenance of assets as it greatly reduces downtime by getting the right information at the right person at the right time (savings of up to 1.5% of revenues per annum). It becomes critical in times of crisis when stakeholders need to rely on this information to locate and solve issues. The costs of not having proper Asset Information Management in case of disaster can be huge as evidenced by some compelling examples.
BlueCielo was founded in the Netherlands in 1985 and is one of the leading providers of Asset Information Management solutions. Its products, led by the flagship solution BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise are sold to over 1,800 customers in over 50 countries. Key customers include Fortune 500 companies in the Oil & Gas, Energy and Pharmaceutical industries. BlueCielo has a global reach with sales offices in Europe, Brazil and the USA, which are complemented by a select group of resellers.
