Global digital services leader Asset Information Services (AIS), a James Fisher company, today announces its business development and account management expansion plans, with new hires in key global regions for its rapidly growing customer base.

In 2022, AIS is expanding its international team, putting boots on the ground in Indonesia, UAE, Nigeria, and Mexico through the recruitment of exceptional local talent. These teams will be responsible for developing and extending the client base and managing accounts, providing enhanced digital twin systems for the energy sector during a time of rapid growth.

As the energy transition gathers pace in tandem with a global surge in demand, pressure is mounting to maintain productive asset uptime without sacrificing the safety of operational practices. Combined with the need to manage and service remote and ageing facilities by global vendors often working from home locations, digitalisation is front and centre of many owner/ operator priorities.

As digitalisation takes root, many organisations can initially feel constrained in their ability to adopt a digital agenda. Ageing facilities, substantial volumes of unstructured offline documentation, and weak data management protocols can result in a deficit of the fundamental documentation required for digital success, such as P&ID’s and asset plans. By having AIS personnel on the ground supporting such assets, digitalisation journeys can begin to be realised by identifying and addressing workflow and information gaps, creating the conditions for success.
