Capitalizing upon experience feedback

Thanks to the work we do, Oxand is a veritable crossroads of information coming from various industrial sectors (nuclear, oil & gas, transport, etc). Oxand capitalises on this information and on the expertise of its clients whether it be in the domain of the ageing of industrial structures, risk management methods, maintenance management, or decision-making aids for managers of major projects. The capitalisation of Oxand's added value is achieved in several ways:

The management of expertise


Oxand's expertise development and control policy implies a particular emphasis on the management of expertise and skills, achieved by developing its know-how internally and via its contacts using the following methods:

  • The communication of expertise
Documents Références
  • The creation of reference documents allowing the communication of methodologies developed by Oxand for risk management of civil engineering infrastructure and industrial projects, expert investigation/testing, and techno-economical evaluation of lifespan extension for industrial installations
  • Professionally: Oxand organises the information that it receives in the course of fulfilling its missions for the benefit of its clients. In the case of a project involving several employees of the client, Oxand will place its common communication space at their disposal: the project space Oxand.net. Using this tool, Oxand can organise and update the information to be communicated, allowing those involved to share a real-time vision of the progress of the project.
Espace Projet
  • Operational, by the analysis of previous studies and the integration of this experience feedback into the initiation training of new employees.
  • Technical reviews: Oxand's experts and consultants are periodically invited to present the feedback experience gained from a particular mission to the entire Oxand Group at technical reviews
  • Committee of scientific experts: Oxand has strong links with a panel of experts who can be called upon to evaluate its R&D program or to respond to specific client needs.

    • The development of information technologies


    One of Oxand's unique assets is its strong expertise in software engineering. The strategic choice to develop its own customized software tools results in a professional independence and also in the valorisation of its expertise. The information technologies developed at Oxand can be classed under three major headings:

    • The management of generic data : SIMEO™ Database for the capitalisation of information

      • SIMEO™ Database was developed with the objective of capitalising upon the entirety of technical and financial data acquired during the carrying out of Oxand's consultancy and R&D activities. This database, which is structured and centralized, simplifies the search for and access to information. A process of verification and validation ensures the quality of the information. The source of the data must be known in order to assign a degree of confidence to them.

    • Engineering tools

      • These customised tools integrate and capitalise upon acquired industrial and technical data and Oxand's expertise. They form a central part of Oxand's offer, and respond to specific client needs across various sectors of activity.

      • SIMEO™ PORT

        • This software allows the construction and management of a maintenance plan for a group of port structures, based on controlling the associated risks SIMEO™ PORT is the essential tool for all operators wishing to employ this innovative and effective approach.

      • SIMEO™ STOR

        • SIMEO™ STOR is a software package for the evaluation of the storage efficacy of projects for the geological storage or sequestration of gases. This perimeter includes the geological storage of acidic gases and of CO2-EOR.

    • Methodological tools

      • To guarantee the successful integration of a risk management policy within a business requires the deployment of adapted methodological and collaborative tools. These software packages capitalise especially on fundamental methodological and scientific expertise.

      • SIMEO™ ERM

        • A support tool for operators which integrates the specific responsibilities of the various people involved on a single project. It allows the collaborative management of risks for the entire project.

      • SIMEO™ MC2

        • A predictive tool to evaluate the variations over time of a system, simultaneously integrating specific deterministic values and expert models.

      • SIMEO™ Stratego

        • SIMEO™ Stratego is a decision-making tool which allows the forecasting of long-term maintenance projects for civil engineering infrastructure.

      • SIMEO™ Consulting

        • A structural ageing simulator based on the physical modelling of the phenomena involved.

      • SIMEO™ Risk

        • Oxand's base-model risk analysis tool. It has been proved on numerous industrial applications, notably in the nuclear domain.
