Accenture has extended its relationship with SAP to create new offerings for oil and gas companies based on the SAP HANA platform.
‘Upstream Production Operations by Accenture and SAP’ will consist of solutions, services and training for energy companies’ production operations, to help them improve and standardise processes, replace legacy tools, provide a single view of production across the organisation, minimise uncertainty and improve production management.
Accenture and SAP will provide an end-to-end solution which will include key processes such as production forecasting, field data capture, production accounting and deferment management. Accenture will also provide consulting, systems integration and outsourcing services to support the solution.
“Building on our existing success with SAP, these new upstream production operations solutions are designed to fill a significant void in today’s upstream market,” said Jean-Marc Ollagnier, group chief executive of Accenture’s Resources operating group.
“Our goal is to help our clients focus on improving their operations from the initial phase of production to the point of sales by optimizing energy companies’ investment in upstream assets.”
The companies have already collaborated to produce a marketing performance solution based on HANA for chief marketing officers.
