Business Benefits of WorksLink

Case StudyBHP Billiton RGP5

WorksLink

Case Study – BHP Billiton RGP5 Rail Duplication

One WorksLink software developer spent 6 weeks configuring the system including reports.

During this time the developer interacted with HR, Commercial, Engineering and Project management people.

System deployed as site work started August 2009. Only minor technical issues encountered since, usually

with a same-day turnaround. Minor enhancements have been made since. Key Point – 6 weeks from approval to deployment.
