BechtPractices

Digital Standards Engineered for Excellence

Managing corporate standards through static PDFs and outdated file systems leads to inefficiency, rising project costs, and increased operational risks. BechtPractices revolutionizes the way organizations manage, access, and apply engineering standards by utilizing data-driven technology to make smarter decisions and accelerate project timelines.

 

Current Challenges with Corporate Standards

Corporate standards management remains outdated. Many organizations still rely on static Word or PDF files stored in legacy systems, creating large, cumbersome work packages. Even with the adoption of third-party systems, the reliance on document-based formats leads to friction and inefficiency from design through to operations.

• Bloated Standards – Non-applicable requirements cluttering work packages
• Inefficient Use – Lack of integrated tools to streamline tasks
• Miscommunication – Unclear requirements and inconsistent data format
• Generic Procedures – Broad requirements that fail to address site-specific needs or real-world tasks
• Cumbersome Systems – Outdated or overly complex systems that complicate processes

 

Data-Driven Solutions

BechtPractices addresses industry challenges by converting static corporate standards into structured data. Managed through our Requirements Database Management System (RDMS), this content is easily accessed via our intuitive, cloud-based platform, facilitating faster decision-making, streamlined reviews, and enhanced compliance throughout the asset lifecycle.

Associated metadata is dynamically available when needed and can be hidden when not required.  This on-demand information improves insights and knowledge transfer without adding bloat to the documents.
