When capital projects transition to operations, the handover of asset data from Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies to maintenance teams is often a major bottleneck. Fragmented data, missing core attribute details, and inconsistent naming conventions frequently lead to delayed startups, premature asset failures, and an uphill battle when operations are started as the right data isn’t available in SAP systems.

This session explores how organisations can establish an unbroken "digital unified thread" across the asset lifecycle. We will break down practical strategies for capturing, validating, and structuring technical specifications during the engineering and procurement phases long before the asset goes live. Attendees will learn how a robust master data governance framework transforms raw engineering data into structured, reliability-ready asset hierarchies and spare parts catalogues within SAP, ensuring immediate operational readiness and a fast track to long-term asset health.
