Raising the Bar for Operations: How Data Governance, Digital Assets, and AI Transform Handover Quality

Perspective
Root Cause Stage
Day 01

Industry studies show inaccurate technical assumptions and data can cause budget variations of up to 30% in complex engineering projects. Asset owners often receive EPC handover data that is inconsistent, incomplete, or unsuitable for assurance and long-term management.

IQ by SGS will introduce practical case studies on improving Asset handover quality through independent data governance, digital asset management, and targeted AI.

Topics include defining digital deliverables, structuring vendor data for verification, and closing EPC data gaps using AI. Outcomes include better asset decisions, reduced OPEX, stronger governance, and operations-ready asset information.

  1. How to make better asset and engineering decisions using accurate tags, hierarchies, and metadata.
  2. What to do to have more effective project budget execution & drastically reduce opex when data reflects physical assets.
  3. How to implement a robust governance & assurance framework during capital works ensures owners receive the information required to maximise operations and productivity of assets, helping EPCs produce operations-ready data.
