8over8 is a leading provider of Contractual Risk Management solutions to organizations that design, build and operate high value assets. They put their customers in better control of their strategic contracting relationships by enforcing discipline in commercial engagements, resulting in more predictable commercial outcomes. 8over8’s blue-chip customer base includes global framework agreements with several Super Majors, Majors, Independents, National Oil Companies and large joint ventures. In fact, 60% of the largest oil and gas extraction projects in the world today are using 8over8’s ProCon platform. The company is headquartered in the UK with a global footprint of offices across North America, Australia, UAE, Oman, and Qatar. 8over8’s ProCon solutions allow customers engaged in large-scale capital projects to effectively identify and manage contractual risk, minimise overspend, maximise cost recovery, defend against avoidable claims and reduce scheduling overruns. The ProCon value proposition is compelling: an internally authored report from a global oil major in 2012 identified over $300m of cost saving on a single development project alone which could be directly attributed to the use of the 8over8 platform. In March 2014, another International Oil Company stated that it reduced its capital projects’ overshoot against project FID cost target by 95% compared with a previous period. 8over8’s management team conservatively estimates that it has helped its customers save over $12billion* through the reduction of unnecessary cost overruns and the significant enhancement of cost recovery from partners and stakeholders.
