Transforming Corporate Standards: Why Data, Not Documents, Is the New Best Practice
May 21, 2025
Presenters: Jeannie Lewis and Matt Hansen
Register Now
Are your corporate standards still buried in PDFs or trapped inside legacy systems? These outdated approaches make it difficult to communicate requirements clearly, which can slow down execution, increase costs, reduce quality, and add unnecessary risk. Many organizations struggle with standards that are bloated or overly generic, lack the technology for effective use and clear communication, rely on hard-to-use overlays stacked on top of each other to address specific needs, or are simply cumbersome – creating significant barriers to efficiency and compliance.
If these challenges sound familiar, join Becht for a live webinar, platform demo, and interactive Q&A introducing BechtPractices – a modern, data-driven solution for managing engineering and technical standards. BechtPractices replaces static documents and outdated systems with structured, dynamic standards. Powerful features like requirement-level filtering, integrated overlays, and built-in approval workflows optimize content to improve communication across teams – leading to faster execution, fewer errors, and higher-quality results.
What You’ll Learn
- Why leading companies are moving from documents to data – and the value it brings to execution and compliance
- How to tailor requirements dynamically based on asset design, geographic location, industry, and scope
- Ways to enhance clarity and usability with integrated metadata, context, and intelligent overlays
- How to streamline collaboration using advanced workflows and integration with existing systems
- Proven strategies for digitally transforming your current standards collection
Who Should Attend
Anyone who uses, maintains, or manages corporate standards and practices – including engineers, standards managers, reliability & integrity teams, capital project leaders, maintenance & turnaround teams, digital transformation & operational excellence leaders, and program administrators.
