A mid-sized oil & gas company with upstream and downstream operations had to update its operating processes, cut manual overhead, and digitise business processes throughout finance, compliance, and maintenance. The company contacted RiseAscend to install SAP S/4HANA together with smart automation for compliance-heavy activities since legacy systems limited speed and flexibility.
Business Challenges:
- Manual workflows resulting in process delays and bottlenecks
- Compliance and regulatory reporting challenges
- Disconnected systems for finance, logistics, and asset tracking
- High cost of data errors and human intervention
Client Type: Oil & Gas Company
Technologies Used: SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP, SAP Signavio
RiseAscend Suggestions:
Given the tightly controlled, asset-intensive character of oil and gas operations, RiseAscend proposed a cloud-first SAP S/4HANA deployment combined with SAP BTP and Signavio for process visibility and automation. While encouraging cross-departmental cooperation across finance, logistics, and maintenance planning, we underlined the need of moving from old systems to smart workflows that would minimise manual dependencies and provide uniform compliance reporting.
Solution Provided:
RiseAscend implemented SAP S/4HANA with SAP BTP and Signavio to:
- Automate workflows and approval processes for better compliance
- Integrate finance, procurement, and logistics operations
- Enable real-time tracking of operational data and cost centers
- Implement maintenance planning and asset management modules
Outcome:
- Reduced process cycle time across departments
- Enhanced compliance audit readiness
- Improved cost control and visibility across operations
