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.
