With RedEye, we could streamline document management and ensure every site is on the same page” > > — Matthew Ponomarenko, Principal Reliability Engineer, [Stanmore Resources](https://www.accruent.com/resources/case-studies/stanmore-resources-edm-transformation-redeye) > "RedEye came along at just the right time. We had some old systems in place for the best part of 20 years. We had a huge drawing collection which is a critical cornerstone for pretty much all of our technical staff. What we’ve been able to do is have the people that are working with that asset quickly markup a drawing. The turnaround time for that drawing to be visible for the rest of our Snowy population is very important.” > > — Nick Skobelkin, Asset Management and Engineering, [Snow Hydro](https://www.accruent.com/resources/case-studies/how-snowy-hydro-boosted-operational-efficiency-for-their-16-power-stations) > "When we need to retrieve data I don’t need to look through 16 different systems. I know where to look and I find it there. That, in terms of compliance, is pretty important to us.” > > — Kai Eberspaecher, Chief Operating Officer, [Bengal Energy](https://www.accruent.com/resources/case-studies/revolutionizing-document-accessibility-in-remote-locations-for-bengal-energy)
