Utopia Global and Hexagon Partner to Synchronize Engineering and Maintenance Data

Utopia Global, Inc., a leading global data solutions company known for its end-to-end data quality, data migration and data governance software solutions, and Hexagon’s PPM division,  the leading global provider of engineering software for the design, construction and operation of plants, ships and offshore facilities, have joined forces. The companies announced today they plan to provide an integrated solution that ensures the synchronization of asset master data between the SAP Plant Maintenance system and Hexagon’s engineering design management solution, HxGN SDx^®.

Utopia and Hexagon recognize this synchronization of asset information between engineering and maintenance is crucial to ensure that asset-intensive companies such as those in the oil & gas, utilities, chemical and manufacturing industries are making accurate financial, operational and safety-related decisions based upon a common understanding of their operational assets. This challenge is particularly acute in industries where complex production operations can grind to a halt with single equipment failure, causing not only financial loss but also creating severe Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) risks.

The integration of Utopia’s Engineering Connector for SAP Asset Information Workbench (AIW) with HxGN SDx Connector for Plant Maintenance provides an auditable, bi-directional synchronization between engineering and maintenance environments, ensuring alignment between these crucial engineering and maintenance systems of record. In addition to streamlining the synchronization process, the Utopia-Hexagon AIW/SDx solution will significantly reduce cost and increase the productivity and reliability of corporate operational assets.
