2. The ‘SKOLMS 2.0’ System ( Simple Key for Oil
Logistics Management System )
The Online Database System,
'SKOLMS 2.0', has been designed by 'Imed Dhouib'
after a long experience in the logistics oil industry
for exploration projects. Development of the
software started in 1995 to fit ARCO
subsidiaries needs in North Africa on stock
control side. The softare was called 'Materials'
@ the time and has improved until the version 6.5 on 2001. A decision have
been made @ this stage to change the name as
'SKOLMS' so it can reflect the new purpose of
the software who handles by that time procurement & logistics.
Development of the online Version of SKOLMS started on early 2003 to finish on the end of the First quarter 2004.
All features from the standalone version have been transferred to the new dynamic web interface so user can still
have the same potential as as in a client/server architecture but extended to the web so companies located in various locations
will not have to make a big investment to connect them offices to one database.
From the other side, the IT infrastructure can be subcontracted so customer can concentrate on his real business
and avoid investment on IT human ressources.
