OCEANAGOLD INCREASES EFFICIENCY WITH GREATER DOCUMENT CONTROL
OceanaGold, a multinational gold producer, needed a way to efficiently manage the thousands of documents created each year to support its mining activities.
It was especially critical that workers operating heavy equipment underground could access these key documents. Project data scattered in siloed point solutions simply wasn’t acceptable anymore. OceanaGold needed to store project information in a single, searchable repository.
The solution was InEight® Document, an industry-leading collaborative document management solution. With InEight Document, OceanaGold project teams are now managing a single source of controlled project truth, helping to ensure project certainty.
OCEANAGOLD AT A GLANCE

OceanaGold is a growing mid-tier gold and copper producer committed to safely and responsibly maximizing the generation of Free Cash Flow from our operations and delivering strong returns for our shareholders.
THE CHALLENGE
Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, OceanaGold has considerable global operating, development and exploration experience. Its operating assets include: the Didipio Gold-Copper Mine on Luzon Island in the Philippines; the Macraes Goldfield Mine on the South Island of New Zealand; the Waihi Gold Mine on the North Island of New Zealand; and the Haile Gold Mine located in South Carolina, U.S. In all, OceanaGold produces more than a half-million ounces of gold per year. The company has a significant pipeline of organic growth and exploration opportunities in the Australasia market and the Americas.
Employing more than 2,000 people and running both open-pit mining and underground operations, OceanaGold was searching for a way to better manage and control thousands of project-related documents. Before InEight Document, OceanaGold was wasting valuable time searching for project documents. Chris Cawood is chief information officer at OceanaGold and reflects on life before InEight. “Managing documents wasn’t done very well. Everything was in localized file shares, on file servers, and there was very little structure and governance over document management.”
