RPMGlobal says, over the last 50 years, its consulting division has clocked up over 16,000 mining studies, with its software segment registering more than 4,500 global users.

With the organisation celebrating 50 years of delivering consulting and advisory services to the global mining industry, it said it has grown into the largest publicly traded independent group of mining technical experts in the world. This is alongside being a “pre-eminent supplier of technical software to all sectors of the industry”.

Reflecting on the company’s 50th anniversary, RPMGlobal Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Richard Mathews, said the company had remained true to its founding principles – established with Pincock Allen & Holt five decades ago – of providing deep domain expertise combined with industry-leading technology to the global mining sector.

“What the company has achieved since the launch of its first mining solutions product, Talpac, more than 40 years ago is testament to our passionate employees and strong executive leadership who continue to drive the company forward,” he said.

“RPMGlobal is deeply embedded in the mining industry and we are very proud to be able to continue supporting our customer’s along their journey as the industry advances.”

More recently, the acceleration of new investments in both software development and in strategic software acquisitions have strengthened the company’s position as a leader across scheduling, maintenance, execution, simulation and financial budgeting and costing technology, it said.

This includes the recent addition of a cloud-hosted offering for its enterprise software solutions.

“We are investing in technology solutions that enable our customers to move data inside and outside their enterprises. Intelligent mining is the future of the industry, and RPMGlobal is creating new benchmarks for the software of the future,” Mathews said.

RPMGlobal’s Consultancy & Advisory division, meanwhile, is seeing increased demand for its independent assessment and financier due diligence services, the company said.
