Customer

This multinational business, with its headquarters in Oslo, Norway, offers comprehensive software solutions and technology consulting to the upstream petroleum sector. The company’s goods and services span the whole decision-making and strategy process life cycle, with a particular emphasis on risk management and reporting.

Challenge

The Customer wanted to upgrade their reporting solution from SAP Business Objects BI 3.1 to SAP Business Objects BI 4.1, therefore they went to Kaprikorni software development services.

This reporting solution provided thorough data on the volume of petroleum fields and refined products, on the number and types of wells, as well as on estimated efficiency rates. It was a crucial tool for risk management and production forecasts in upstream petroleum investments (that cover the exploration and production stages). It was essential to maintain the highest level of relevancy for data visualization and reporting interfaces because they had been a vital component of the Customer’s upstream petroleum industry offering.

Solution

Within two months, the reporting solution was improved. The following steps were part of the comprehensive project scope:

  • Analyses of the Customer’s database entry-making software products
  • Analysis of the database’s data model for the conversion of the UNV to UNX universe
  • Report objects are transferred to the new data model version
  • Modifications to the reporting interfaces’ appearance
  • Alignment of calculations and formulas with the previous iteration

The updated solution was used with the Customer’s software product suite and, thanks to its adaptable design, may be used by a variety of end users.

Results

The Customer was able to bring their software solutions for the upstream petroleum business in step with the technological advancements on the market by upgrading their reporting solution to SAP Business Objects BI 4.1.

The Customer was able to keep its reporting facilities at the forefront of data visualization to help the big petroleum investors with decision-making as the enhanced solution includes the interface advancements of the 4.1 edition.
