Action Manager
The FoCul Management of Change for Process Safety (MOC) application has been developed from best practices recommended by the AIChE’s Center for Chemical Process Safety. Our clients with a legal duty under The Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH15) and use MOC to apply ‘Plant modification and Change Procedures guidance’ to their business.
The Management of Change tool is highly configurable so that it can be adapted to a wide variety of change procedures. It can be simplified for straight-forward modifications or re-configured for organisational change.

Engage HCL Technology User Group Conference Observations
Observations from the 2022 Engage User Group HCL Technologies conference
Excellent support from HCL ( including XPages )
Excellent support from HCL A recent customer security audit raised two concerns with our Domino SaaS applications. A significant part of the reason that we use HCL Domino is that it is robust and secure. As a matter of principle we do not code security ourselves but...
XPage View Bug in Domino 11.01 FP5 HF12

The Long Road Ahead . . . Transitioning To Angular From XPages
Back in the summer of 2020, we began our long term goal to move our SaaS front-end applications to Angular from XPages, and this is what our first Proof-of-Concept (PoC) looked like at the end of that very first day. Admittedly not a lot, but small acorns and all...

MOC Perspectives - Risk Ranking in Management of Change When FoCul first produced a Management of Change application back in 2000 it was very much based on the old ICI ( RIP ) model. We have been continuously evolving the MOC application since and it now includes many...
Useful books – Guidelines for the Management of Change for Process Safety
