Increasing profit. Streamlining operations. Improving safety. Achieving regualtory compliance. As a pipeline executive, these are the problems you wrestle with every day. Aging assets, expanding suburban population, and increasingly intrusive regulation make these problems ever more challenging. The good news is that Eagle is in the business of helping you solve your problems.
Data Governance
In the not so distant past, simply being able to duplicate pipeline alignment sheets and system maps from your pipeline database was considered a data management victory. This is no longer the case. In today's regulatory environment, you must be able to audit the history of changes to your database, link database records to critical documents, and fully intertwine your data management technology with your Management Of Change (MOC) business processes. This confluence of data management and business process management
is data governance. Eagle believes that the highest standards in data governance are achieved by combining cutting edge Geographic Information System (GIS) technology with the concepts of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing process management. We are proud to offer cutting edge solutions for data governance. Click here to learn more.
Managing Assets
Eagle specializes in the spatial component of asset management. To achieve spatial and situational awareness, you must not only know where your assets are located, you must also understand their spatial context, i.e. how your pipeline assets relate to the surrounding geography. Most enterprise asset management systems lack a sophisticated spatial component. By extending your enterprise asset management system with Eagle GIS-enabled pipeline asset management tools, you can better manage your assets. To learn more, click

Improving Operations
Operational efficiency is often hampered not only by unreliable data, but also by unreasonably long data cycle times. Operations staff often are saddled with information that is both inaccurate and out of date, and end up making incorrect and/or untimely decisions as a result. Eagle's goal is to minimize data defects and data cycle times to improve efficiency. To learn how we do this, click

Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance is becoming increasingly more difficult as regulatory pressure ratchets ever upward. Eagle provides pipeline integrity managment tools for both liquids and natural gas operators including our
Risk Analysis tool,
Liquids HCA Analysis,
Gas HCA tool (including DOT Class, HCA and MAOP calculation), and our
Emergency Flow Restriction Device (EFRD) Placement tool for liquids.
Maximizing Profit
Conventional strategies for increasing profit usually involve maximizing throughput, and minimizing operational cost. Lean Six Sigma process management methods and supporting technologies are ideally suited for this. But profitability in the pipeline industry also hinges on consequence avoidance, that is, avoiding the negative cost impacts associated with accidents and regulatory penalties. Finding the proper balance among these factors is the ultimate challenge for the pipeline executive. Eagle exists to help you meet this ultimate challenge.
