The ProCon User Group meeting is “a collaborative forum where valued customers and 8over8 meet to collectively identify and prioritise enhancements and new solutions to Contracts Management problems.�

Previous user group meetings have been held in the UK to great success, and 8over8’s choice of venue for this ProCon User Group further highlights their commitment to support valued clients in the region.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase new developments in ProCon, the leading contract management solution in the oil and gas industry�, said Ritchie Anderson, Product Manager at 8over8. “8over8 prides itself on continually listening to the needs and requests of its customers, and we have a great agenda that includes workshops, customer case-studies and well-informed group discussions.�

As the world financial crisis deepens, extra effort and proven risk mitigation techniques are required by the energy industry to protect its billion dollar investments that are necessary to safeguard its long-term future. At this forum some of the industry’s leading professionals will share their project experiences with fellow experts through detailed presentations and the latest operator and contractor case studies. Delegates will discover how to weather the harsh market conditions and ensure the highest return for their capital investments.

The forum will be attended by representatives from StatoilHydro, BG Group, Petrofac, Technip, Saipem SA and many more.

8over8 Sales Executive, Keith Langford, speaking of the upcoming event, said: “Too often organizations fail to protect themselves adequately from the variety of risks their projects face at each project phase. At this event we will demonstrate a proven system that will help delegates manage those risks, with a special focus on forecasting and mitigating the contractual risks that often have a critical impact on overall project success�.

The forum takes place in the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel, London on June 8th and 9th 2009

The event is scheduled to take place from 22 - 24 April 2009 and will comprise a half day workshop, followed by a two day conference and exhibition.

8over8 have established themselves as leaders in the provision of world-class, web-based contract management solutions to the global oil and gas industry and are the Business Solution Sponsor of April’s conference and exhibition.

As the world’s economy faces the current financial crisis, the energy sector is at the forefront of its rippling effects. Increased credit strain has seen many large oil and gas operators cut their planned capital project expenditure by as much as half to concentrate on larger, more profitable ventures.

The three day event will assemble a knowledgeable group of Project Managers, Contracts Professionals and Legal Counsel from a wide range of international companies including Shell, BG Group, Petrofac, Hill International and Simmons & Simmons.

Representatives will present their experiences through case studies and partake in panel discussions illustrating the changing landscape of today’s contracting environment, and the need for better tools and mechanisms to manage risk as capital project contracts become increasingly complex.

8over8 Sales Director, Gerry McGurgan, speaking of the forthcoming conference, said: “The forum will provide a platform for experienced professionals to advise of the tools and safeguards the industry needs to protect its investment in new and existing capital projects.

“Between panel discussions and networking opportunities this is a must-attend event for everyone in the field of energy sector contractingâ€?.

The event will run from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 April 2009 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Details of the venue will be announced shortly.
