LR Improves Certificates with ITP Platform

Lloyd’s Register has selected the ITP platform from communications software specialist Aia Software to create and manage its certificate creation process.

Selecting ITP is part of a larger project to improve the creation of their complex and technical documentation, LR explained. It will enable the organization to improve both productivity and quality control, ultimately improving their services to clients.

The initial project will focus on Lloyd's Register's Type Approval Scheme, a product verification and certification scheme recognized and trusted in the marine and offshore industry, industrial plant and process and information technology sector. The ITP implementation will go live in 2015 for over 300 users. ITP will be used for the generation of certificates online and its advanced template maintenance features will enable quick turnaround of changes and ensure consistent, quality output that matches the aim of the Type Approval Scheme.

Rod Furmston-Evans, Head of Marine Business Systems of Lloyd’s Register, said, “For Lloyd’s Register the most tangible and visible output of our services are Certificates and Survey Reports and these have to be managed rigorously. We selected Aia Software after an extensive market survey, because their software helps us meet our quality and integrity needs effectively and efficiently, and our users overwhelmingly rated it as the best solution. We found that it delivers what is promised and have come to value Aia’s partnership approach and keen interest in helping us to deliver an integrated solution.”
