What Information Quality does

Information Quality (IQ) is an Australian information and data management specialist serving owners, operators, and constructors of asset-intensive facilities across oil and gas, mining, and energy production. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Perth with a regional office in Brisbane, the firm combines engineering domain expertise with IT and digital engineering capabilities to manage information throughout the full facility lifecycle — from design and engineering through construction, commissioning, and operations.

Its core software product, ProDat, is a configurable web-based staging database and maintenance build tool, complemented by co-developed solutions such as SmartPlant Fusion (Brownfields Data Organiser, built with Intergraph/Hexagon and Woodside), a CAD automation toolset, Engineering Data Warehouse and Class Library, and an AI Document Intelligence capability that uses in-house trained models on dedicated on-premise hardware to extract and classify engineering data across tens of thousands of vendor data books. The company is certified Net Zero (2024) and Carbon Neutral (2021), and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

IQ operates a B2B professional services model, delivering project-based consulting engagements — Digital Delivery and Information Management, Digital Engineering, Asset Management and Master Data Management, Completions and Commissioning, Operations Support, and Business Analytics — directly to enterprise clients. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to project scope; customers include Woodside, BHP, Rio Tinto, Chevron, INPEX, Santos, ConocoPhillips, Newmont, Origin Energy, and Beach Energy. In November 2025, SGS SA (a Swiss-based TIC firm) announced the acquisition of Information Quality, with the partnership officially confirmed in February 2026, integrating IQ into SGS's global network as its Australian market entry for quality and compliance services.
