To Every Project, From Every Starting Point: O3 Expands to Deliver the Future of Project Execution

For years, O3 has led the charge in reshaping how capital projects are planned and executed. Our roots are firmly planted in Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and Workface Planning, and we are proud to have supported hundreds of capital projects, totaling more than $150 billion in total installed cost. From concept through commissioning, O3 has enabled project teams to break down silos, plan work more intelligently, and improve field execution. 

Our clients rely on us to manage both work packaging and task-level execution across their projects. But as we continued to support projects around the globe, one truth became increasingly clear: AWP isn’t the only area where teams need help. Critical workflows like RFIs, risks, technical queries, and interface management were often tracked in outdated, fragmented tools—scattered across email threads and spreadsheets—causing delays, confusion, and costly rework. 

These teams needed more than work planning. They needed a platform for modern digital project management. 

A Platform Built on AWP, Expanded for Everyone 

We listened. And we learned. 

We saw clients succeed with O3 even on projects with limited engineering data. One such project, operating outside a traditional AWP environment, used O3 to create scopes of work and manage execution constraints—and achieved an 18–25% improvement in time on tools compared to peer projects on the same site. That kind of impact made the next step obvious: 

How can we help more teams achieve better project outcomes—regardless of whether they’ve adopted AWP yet? 

We’re proud to announce that O3 has expanded beyond AWP to become the industry’s most powerful Digital Project Execution Platform. Our mission remains the same: to help industrial teams deliver projects better. But now, we've opened the door to a broader range of project teams, meeting them where they are and guiding them forward—whether they’re executing a multi-billion-dollar megaproject, managing a portfolio of $10M brownfield projects, or just getting started with digital transformation. 

Designed for the Realities of Capital Projects

We’ve worked with teams across every stage of project maturity, and we understand the universal challenges they face: 

• Disparate Sources of Truth: RFIs buried in emails. Data squirrelled away in disparate spreadsheets. Status updates lost in translation. Project stakeholders scrambling for clarity. 

• Chronic Budget and Schedule Overruns: More than 80% of projects finish at least 25% over budget or schedule. It’s not sustainable. 

• Field Crews Waiting on Work That Isn’t Ready: Materials, drawings, or tools aren’t where they need to be—leading to delays, idle time, or costly rework. 

• Delayed Insight into What’s Really Happening: By the time project leaders realize there’s a problem, it’s already too late to respond effectively. 

These issues plague all capital projects. And now, O3 is the solution. 

One Platform for Project Delivery 

Here’s how we’re transforming project delivery across the board: 

• Standardized Project Oversight: O3 provides a centralized system for task and workflow management, bringing order to chaos. Teams can track RFIs, risks, technical queries, and interfaces with complete visibility—monitoring status, cycle times, and pending actions. And by connecting this data to upcoming work, teams can prioritize what truly matters. 
• Smarter Work Management: Define and manage work down to the crew shift. Automatically scope materials and drawings based on engineering data. Proactively identify and remove constraints—so when the work hits the field, it’s truly ready to execute. 
• Graphical Planning and Reporting: With integrated visual tools like 4D modeling and interactive dashboards, teams can see progress, identify bottlenecks, and act with confidence. Whether inside O3 or through robust integrations with tools like PowerBI, project data has never been more actionable. 
  
  

Still the AWP Leader—Now with a Bigger Vision 

Let me be crystal clear: we are not moving away from AWP. We remain the industry leader in AWP and Workface Planning—and we’re more committed than ever to helping projects succeed with scalable, best-in-class AWP, whether you’re just beginning the journey or managing a sophisticated AWP program. 

But today, we’re also offering new ways for projects to take the first step in digital transformation. 

Whether your team is ready to embrace AWP, looking for a way to digitally manage project workflows, trying to reduce schedule risk and field delays, or anything in between—O3 can help. 

This isn’t a shift in direction. It’s a natural evolution, built on everything that’s made O3 successful so far. 

Because every project deserves better. And now, every project—no matter how it’s delivered—can get better with O3.
