ConocoPhillips first implemented its ERP over 20 years ago and has recently started working on a next-generation ERP program and defining what the future state will look like for the business. To prepare for the upcoming migration, the program team has been responsible for four to five projects that will allow for tidying and getting things into place beforehand and prepare for a smooth transition. ConocoPhillips is working on projects such as defining its strategic approach, establishing capability solution boards for governance, establishing ERP data quality and data management, and shrinking its current core system to support a more streamlined process for implementation. In addition, this organization is committed to the SAP upstream oil and gas cloud consortium and is excited to be part of influencing the future of ERP upstream within the industry.
Key Business Benefits:
- Establishing the strategy and governance early provides a strong foundation for making critical decisions and for managing change in the business.
- Implementing ERP data quality and management will provide data standards and processes that will ensure consistent data definitions, effective data management, and support efficient analytics across the business.
- Shrinking the core system will reduce the amount of custom code attached to our current SAP environment, which creates additional complexity and work for ongoing support and upgrades. “Clearing away the clutter” will streamline the amount of work required when we migrate to our future ERP system.
