Intelex, in partnership with our Middle East partner – Barik Group, is pleased to announce the continuing growth of our Middle Eastern client base with the addition of Fahud Oilfield Services (FOS) based in Oman. FOS is one of the major oil & gas services companies in Oman and began its operations in 1999 with a government initiative that encouraged the strengthening of the local infrastructure by the development of Omani owned companies. During those years FOS has built a solid reputation in the exploration testing business and is now Oman’s leading well testing company having just completed 7 years of continuous operations without a single lost time incident.

Specializing in a range of oilfield services, notably well testing services, reservoir information services and multi phase testing services, FOS was looking for an IT solution to streamline their training program for all their business units in order to increase their overall organizational performance. They selected Intelex’s Training Management Module as it allowed them to streamline their training management workflow, actively track employee skill levels, training and certifications, and its web-based platform allowed for multiple sites to easily access the system.

Intelex is excited to announce the new Training Quiz Builder Module that has been designed to enable organizations to develop customized training quizzes for competency testing as part of their employee training programs. Working in conjunction with the Intelex Document Control and Training Management Modules, it facilitates the creation of training quizzes, presentation of training materials, testing of employees and tracking of employee training records.

Module Overview
The Intelex Training Quiz Builder was designed to streamline and strengthen the employee training process. Using this module an organization will have the ability to:
Create individual quizzes; formulate either multiple choice style or comment style questions.

-Load training materials (PowerPoint, Flash, external links to CBT content) directly into the module thereby enhancing users experience and retention.

-Associate training with any document stored in the Document Control Module (Policies, Procedures, Work Instructions or Training Materials) to evaluate employee knowledge and competence of that specific document/task.

-Establish scoring thresholds to set pass/fail standards to gate employee progress.

-Actively track and update employee training records for successful and failed attempts.

-Generate reports based on results.

-Automatically notify employees about new documents that have been released or revisions to existing documents that competence must be tested on.
 
Implementing the Intelex Training Quiz Builder will enable your organization to fine-tune their employee training program to reflect the competencies associated with specific jobs, sites, and levels of designation. Working in conjunction with the Intelex Training Management module, the Training Quiz Builder can facilitate an employee training program that is highly configurable with the ability to easily manage company growth, changes in policies and procedures and any other developments that a company may experience.

Intelex is pleased to announce that Virgin Atlantic Airways (VAA) has gone live with their Intelex Safety Management System organization-wide. VAA, one of the world's leading long haul airlines, employs over 9,000 people and has flown over 65 million passengers in its recently celebrated 25 years of existence. VAA first approached Intelex in search of a solution to unify their multiple incident reporting processes into a single streamlined application that could be accessible to all staff across the entire company. After an analysis of the functionality of the Intelex system to meet their requirements, the Intelex platform was selected as it allowed VAA to utilize proven Intelex modules as well as the versatile Intelex iForm® tool to create their own customized Incident Reporting Management and Analysis System (IRMA).

With the new 100% web-based system launched, all VAA employees can now access Intelex's system from any location. VAA is now actively monitoring and tracking all non conformances, maintaining auditor's checklists, proactively assessing risks, analyzing incidents and tracking, managing and reporting on safety meetings and employee training. By implementing an integrated Intelex solution, VAA was able to significantly increase the integrity and usability of the data they were capturing, all through a very simple and user-friendly interface. Congrats to everyone on both the VAA and Intelex teams who worked on this project to make it such a success!

Intelex recently attended two conferences that took place in the Middle East, both with a focus on addressing growing HSE challenges in the workplace. John Phyper, Intelex's EVP of Sales, Marketing and Alliances travelled to Doha Qatar first to participate in the 5th Annual HSE Forum in Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals. Taking place over 4 days, the Forum followed in the footsteps of the outstandingly successful 4th Annual HSE Meeting in 2008 and had over 150 regional and international senior level HSE professionals gathered to share their opinions and insights with their industry peers. This series of HSE Forums has proven itself to be the focal point for discussion on the best practices, innovative solutions and creative ideas on successful HSE compliance in the oil and gas industry. John also attended "Managing HSE in the Construction Industry," hosted by the Oman Society of Contractors which took place in Oman and specifically looked at recently introduced health and safety legislation as well as health and safety standards in the construction industry. Intelex's Middle Eastern partners, the Barik Group, were also in attendance at both events.

The conferences both addressed the shifting culture of safety in the workplace and the importance of implementing and maintaining a HSE Management System to have a pro-active and re-active solution to workplace safety. "There is a significant shift by companies to put in place robust systems to ensure their workers and contractors mitigate environmental damage and practice safety in the workplace," commented Phyper on the emerging industry trends.

Intelex's web-based HSE Management solutions provide a single, organization-wide platform for all safety data, policies, objectives and initiatives. Find out how an Intelex Safety Management Solution or Environmental Management Solution can help your organization save time, money and resources.
