Challange:Ensuring the safety and security of
its customers and staff is a primary concern in all aspects of
business for BC Ferries. The company complies with the latest
safety regulations and strives to implement best practices wherever
possible, learning from previous situations to enhance safety. But
maintaining up-to-date printed policies and procedures on its 35
ships and at its 47 terminals presented major challenges.
“Every ship had 26 feet of binders full of our policies and
procedures-together, those binders would reach the height of the
Eiffel Tower,” recalls Rob Morrison, IT Manager for BC
Ferries.  Updating policies and procedures involved a
laborious manual process of physical sign- offs, rife with version
control issues and confusion about who needed to approve which
changes. 

Benefits and Outcomes: BC Ferries now has a
straightforward way to produce and consume key policy and procedure
changes, which supports the company’s focus on safety for
passengers and staff alike.

“Easy access to current, relevant information and policy is
critical to make effective, consistent, and safe operational
decisions,” says Morrison. “The eFleet system is designed to
streamline the old paper-based system and help employees stay
up-to-date. SharePoint Server 2010, Nintex Workflow, and our
friends at itgroove made this possible.”

Benefits:

• Greater employee efficiency

• Easy-to-find information

• Fast speed to market

• Cost-effective solution for rapid ROI
