Capgemini’s SAP S/4HANA-Based Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry Now Optimized for Microsoft Azure

Azure can offer additional benefits for EnergyPath and READYUpstream that help drive agility and growth

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capgemini announced today that its EnergyPath and READYUpstream solutions for the oil and gas industry are now optimized for Microsoft Azure. The cloud platform provides security, scalability, and agility for these widely adopted solutions to help organizations drive growth through streamlined finance, accounting and operations processes.

“Leading firms have leveraged our EnergyPath and READYUpstream solutions to help identify opportunities for growth and enable their technology infrastructure and financial analytics platforms to scale accordingly,” said Randy Cozzens, Energy, Utilities and Chemicals Market Unit Lead for North America at Capgemini. “With Microsoft Azure, companies pay by usage which allows flexibility for an industry that goes through expansion and contraction cycles.”

With Azure, companies using either solution have the flexibility to pace investments based on production levels, through the pay for usage option. Additionally, companies can begin programs more quickly to avoid costly hardware procurement lifecycles.

Capgemini’s EnergyPath is an SAP-qualified partner-packaged solution for SAP S/4HANA® designed specifically to help oilfield services and midstream firms integrate IT systems that are vital for growth. Built on the latest SAP S/4HANA digital core, EnergyPath can provide an accelerated approach to implement SAP solutions and provides companies with key information they need to manage their business and grow with ease.

Built specifically for the upstream market, Capgemini’s READYUpstream is an SAP-qualified partner-packaged solution for SAP S/4HANA, designed to help exploration and production companies grow by increasing agility. The solution helps integrate and streamline field operations, finance, and capital management processes into an integrated platform. This platform can provide users with a single view of critical financial and operational data to help effectively manage operations, quickly identify non-profitable assets, and capitalize on assets that may contribute to higher profit margins.

Independent oil and gas companies can benefit from READYUpstream’s pre-configured industry templates to go live in as little as five months. The configurations help large and mid-size exploration and production companies eliminate waste and re-work that may arise with traditional systems implementations.

Capgemini has deployed SAP S/4HANA at oil and gas companies in the United States and Mexico. Built and enhanced over the past 12 years and with more than 30 successful implementations, EnergyPath and READYUpstream have helped companies including Diavaz, Fieldwood Energy, and Petrofac increase agility and grow their businesses.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Capgemini to optimize their e-customer solutions based on Microsoft Azure. With this innovation, energy leaders are empowered to operate more efficiently, speed response rates, boost efficiency and reduce costs,” said Darryl Willis, Vice President, Energy Industry, Microsoft Corp.

Capgemini was named 2019 Microsoft SAP on Azure Partner of the Year. It was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.
