Meirik × rhi Case Study Published in World Pipelines Magazine

We are delighted to announce that our latest case study, created in collaboration with rhi, has been officially published in the December edition of World Pipelines magazine — one of the industry's leading publications dedicated to global pipeline engineering, operations and innovation.

The feature article, titled “From Desktop to Cloud”, explores the digital transformation of rhiCOMS, rhi’s long-standing unit rate contracting system used across major energy and pipeline projects worldwide. Originally built over 20 years ago, the tool played a crucial role in budgeting, scheduling and evaluating contractor bids — but its desktop-based architecture no longer matched the pace and complexity of today’s infrastructure landscape.

Together with rhi, Meirik guided the transition toward a modern, cloud-based solution, supported by the Scrum framework and transparent, value-driven collaboration.
The article sheds light on:

• the business challenges behind the transformation,
• the complexity of modernising a legacy system relied on by global teams,
• the shift from manual data handling to automated, real-time insights,
• the role of iterative development in aligning technology with business needs.

What makes this story particularly compelling is the intersection of traditional energy operations with modern agile delivery — a combination that is not always straightforward, yet increasingly necessary.

And while we won’t spoil the full narrative here, the case study reveals how rhi significantly improved efficiency, strengthened decision-making processes and laid the foundation for future innovation.
