Information Technology Developments at Lesedi Drilling.

Lesedi has always aspired to be innovation leaders in the field of exploration drilling. Over the last few years we have successfully developed 2 new drill machines, an adjustable platform and have put together a comprehensive Information Management System (IMS).

Implementation of the system

As with the roll-out of any information management system there are huge amounts of training and improvements to the way business is carried out. Lesedi Drilling has embraced these changes and sees this as an opportunity to lift up its employees and enjoy some rapid internal growth.

We are already seeing our drilling supervisors on their own computers being responsible for their own information and data capture. Regular communications on Skype and via email are taking our abilities to new heights every day.

IMS Achievements

• Over 100 000 performance entries
• Over 1 000 training entries
• Over 28 000 attendance entries
• Over 4 000 PTO entries

As we continue to implement the system these numbers will increase dramatically.
