Feedback from the CLIENT (liRed from Oil & Gas Australia, October 2006)
Michael Cummings, Vector’s Divisional CEO, Gas Mr. Cummings warmly acknowledged the team that has worked so hard to get OATIS on board:
‘Working with our IT partners, HP and Pointwest, we have delivered an innovaEve soluEon that has cost significantly less than similar projects in other internaEonal regimes. We have m a n a g e d t o d e l i v e r a n impressive system that should m e e t a n d e x c e e d t h e expectaEons of the users.’
Due to the complexity and industry criEcal nature of the app l i caEon, tesEng was crucial. Vector sought the s e r v i c e s o f P o i n tw e s t Technologies from Manila, a partner it has successfully used in the past.
