What does one of the world's largest Oil & Gas companies hope to achieve from leveraging SAP Master Data Governance for Enterprise Asset Management?
Customer Profile
■ National oil and fully integrated petroleum company with operations in exploration and production, refining and marketing, and petrochemical manufacturing
■ Managing a daily crude production of over 10 million barrels per day
Objectives
This organization, like many, has multiple disparate industry solutions that did not allow full transparency into company assets. There was a lack of agility in effectively managing asset information, despite multiple (but tactical) remediation initiatives in the past. Poor asset Information impedes asset availability, maintenance efficiency and prevents operational excellence... so with business direction to integrate all assets from new plants into their SAP landscape, it was clear that a new strategic plan was needed to prepare for this big transformation.
How Did Utopia Help?
