Sharing Information in the Unipetrol Group

Petr Dudek, UNIPETROL, a.s.

The base of the information system for monitoring the environment of the Unipetrol Group is formed by a modular structure of complementary single information products. The center piece of this system is the business-strategic information system ExtIS Lite 2000 that enables saving, logical sorting out and sharing of relevant information that can influence various activities of the Unipetrol Group. The other parts of this information puzzle consist of shared in-house databases, technical libraries, retrieval services from individual database centers and connections to hot links on the Internet. The system is also continuously supplemented by internal information about important Unipetrol activities (e.g. dealerships, situation reports, memberships in professional associations, conferences and presentations, Annual Reports…).

The statistic information from the last two years indicates increasing interest in utilization of information sources and hunger for structured information. Regular monitoring of our industry sector has become a very important component of the successful company management.
