HMSWeb© approved by Italian ENI

Rio de Janeiro, December 3, 2015 - A technological solution for commissioning management developed by a Forship group's company has been included in the qualified vendor list of the oil company.

HMSWeb Tecnologia da Informação,a subsidiary of Brazilian group Forship, had its commissioning engineering management tool, HMSWeb ©, approved by Italy-based oil company Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI), with operations in nearly 70 countries.

"We are now included in ENI's qualified vendor list, as our HMSWeb© was qualified as an information technology capable to meet ENI's and ENI trading partners' operation requirements around the world," says HMSWeb CEO Luciano Gaete.

The process to qualify the HMSWeb© was started earlier this year when ENI requested data on the solution, whose mobile version had been presented at the biggest offshore technology fair in the world, namely the OTC, delivered in Houston (USA). "This approval is the result of teamwork and the commitment of all people involved because the process for evaluation and inclusion of our software in ENI's list was very strict", points Gaete, explaining that several presentations and conferences to demonstrate the features of the HMSWeb were delivered over the last six months.

This approval further strengthens Forship's internationalization strategy, which includes a strong presence in emerging markets like Africa, where the company has been partnering in engineering, infrastructure and oil and gas projects. ENI is developing several projects in that continent in the oil sector, especially on the coast of Mozambique. "In addition to various technical and functional features that have proved to be effective in the management of commissioning process, our solution is the only cutting-edge technology that relies on the Portuguese language as a plus. Because the HMSWeb has also been approved by US-based Chevron and ExxonMobil, opportunities in the O&G market are manifold, "said Gaete.
