Proven client success
A petroleum 'lightering' (crude oil unloading) company, working with IBM and Houston-based Ixion, now leverages IBM's latest collaboration offering, Workplace Services Express. Ixion's xForms Portal and Workplace solution, built on IBM Workplace Services Express, consolidates all pertinent lightering information.
By automating tasks, the company realized a 75% reduction in time needed to handle and display information. They no longer have to gather paper forms, organize them and file them away.
The end result: the company is now more of an on demand organization. Evolving from a paper-heavy, manual-labor intensive company, today the company offers real-time updates on the crude oil unloading status through an easy-to-read display portal, enjoying increased employee productivity and enhanced customer satisfaction.
