SAP System for a major oil and gas company

Project Overview

IBA Group created a comprehensive solution based on SAP HANA, a modern high–performance platform that combines analytical tools, means of transaction processing, and large amounts of data (ERP and BI).

The system was launched simultaneously in all seventeen branches and the administrative office of a major oil and gas company.

Project Execution

From 2013 to 2015, IBA Group created and implemented the enterprise information management system based on SAP ECC 6.0. The system was created based on the following SAP software:

  • ERP Central Component (SAP ECC 6.0)
  • BI — Business Intelligence
  • PI — Process Integration
  • ВО — BusinessObjects
  • MDM — Master Data Management
  • SM — Solution Manager
  • SAP HANA (ERP, BI).

In 2014, the system was launched in compliance with the project calendar schedule. According to the requirements specification, the following business processes of our customer were automated:

  • Accounting and tax records
  • Management accounting
  • Financial accounting
  • Logistics (procurement, sales and distribution, warehouse operations)
  • Equipment maintenance and repair
  • Capital construction accounting
  • Organizational management and personnel administration.

In 2015, IBA Group automated payroll as well as production and economic planning of the company.

User support was organized based on SAP Solution Manager (Incident Management).

The IBA Group team included more than 100 SAP consultants and developers.

While implementing the project, IBA Group used up–to–date methodologies of SAP product implementation, namely ASAP (Accelerated SAP) and AGILE (Agile Software Development). In addition, IBA Group used advanced technologies of project procedures management and subsystem functionality testing.

IBA Group provided support services through Service Desk, carried out the central system administration using SAP Solution Manager, and created operating user manuals and training courses. IBA Group also held an interactive training of end users via RWD uPerform for SAP.

Project Results

In August 2015, the information management system was successfully accepted for commercial operation. The company received the system that allows for obtaining trustworthy, complete, and timely information about the activity of all departments of the company.

The unified information environment enables our customer to increase the efficiency of real–time analysis and enterprise activity planning, to optimize the turnover of stock and monetary assets, to reduce operating costs for maintenance and repair, as well as for administrative and management personnel, and to enhance investment attractiveness.
