About

Zero audit failures. Three consecutive cycles. Across some of the world's most complex giga-projects. That's the headline. Here's the full story. I'm Farooq Ahmad - a Document Control, Information Management Specialist, and EDMS Consultant with 16+ years building enterprise document governance frameworks for multi-billion programs across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and India. My work has shaped how information flows - and how it doesn't get lost - on projects that define nations. NEOM's renewable energy infrastructure. ExxonMobil's upstream/downstream oil and gas facilities. FIFA Qatar 2022's stadium and hospitality programs. Projects where a document control failure isn't just inefficient. It's catastrophic. What I deliver: -EDMS Platform Mastery: Oracle Aconex (Certified Professional), Autodesk ACC (Admin), Procore (Certified Admin), ProjectWise, BIM 360, SharePoint - I don't just use these tools. I implement, configure, and optimize them. -Measurable Results: 35% faster document approvals. 50% reduction in manual data entry. 40% fewer data errors. Zero audit non-conformances. These aren't targets. They're my track record. -Compliance & Governance: ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor (CPD). ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor (CQI-IRCA). Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. I build systems that pass audits because they're designed to from day one. -Digital Transformation: CFIHOS-aligned handovers, Power BI executive dashboards, API integrations, and Digital Twin-ready data governance - I bring information management into the future. -Saudi Arabia & Giga-Project Experience: Served as Information Management Specialist for NEOM's power generation portfolio - governing enterprise engineering data and documentation across one of the Kingdom's most technically complex renewable energy programs, with deep understanding of Vision 2030 infrastructure delivery standards and regional project dynamics. Certified in what matters: Oracle Aconex Certified Professional | Autodesk ACC Admin | Procore Certified Admin | ISO 9001 Lead Auditor (CPD) | ISO 27001 Lead Auditor (CQI-IRCA) | Lean Six Sigma Black Belt | Advanced Primavera P6 | Microsoft Power BI If your project demands zero tolerance for documentation failure and uncompromising information management standards - I deliver exactly that.
