Technology Solutions Grounded in Energy Industry Experience
Enterprise technology works best when the people implementing it understand the business behind it. BAOS combines Microsoft Dynamics 365 expertise with practical knowledge of energy finance and operations to help organizations align ERP technology with the realities of their business.
Energy ERP Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
Upstream, midstream and oilfield-services organizations operate in fundamentally different ways. Their financial structures, ownership arrangements, asset profiles, project types and reporting requirements reflect the distinct nature of each operating environment; and those differences matter when it comes to ERP.
An upstream E&P organization managing joint ventures and capital programs has different ERP requirements from a midstream business operating complex infrastructure or an oilfield-services company managing equipment and project based operations.
Successful ERP transformation in the energy sector requires understanding those differences before technology is configured. The right solution design starts with the business; its structure, its processes and the specific requirements that define how it operates.
ERP for the Complexity of Upstream Operations
E&P organizations operate within complex financial, ownership, capital and operational environments. Joint venture arrangements, authorization for expenditure, capital programs and connections between operational and corporate systems create specialized ERP requirements.
- Joint Venture AccountingSupport complex joint venture accounting requirements, including ownership interests, cost allocation and related financial processes.
- Authorization for ExpenditureSupport authorization and expenditure management processes associated with energy projects and capital activity.
- Capital and Project AccountingSupport project and capital related financial processes associated with exploration, development and other capital programs.
- Financial Management and ReportingAlign financial management and reporting with the organizational, ownership and operating structures of upstream businesses.
- Operational and Corporate IntegrationConsider integration requirements between operational systems and the corporate ERP environment as part of the overall solution design.
ERP for Asset Intensive Midstream Operations
Midstream organizations operate complex gathering, processing and transportation infrastructure. Strong connections between finance, procurement, capital projects and operations are important, and ERP solutions need to reflect the financial and operational structure of the midstream business.
- Financial Management and ReportingSupport financial processes, organizational structures and reporting requirements within complex midstream environments.
- Asset and Infrastructure ProcessesSupport the financial and operational processes associated with asset intensive infrastructure environments.
- Capital and Project ManagementSupport project accounting and capital related processes associated with infrastructure investment, expansion and other capital programs.
- Procurement and Supply ChainAlign procurement, inventory and supply chain processes with the operational requirements of the organization.
- Enterprise IntegrationConsider integration requirements between operational, financial and enterprise systems as part of the overall ERP architecture.
ERP for Equipment, Asset and Project Intensive Services Businesses
Oilfield-services organizations operate asset, equipment and project intensive businesses. Strong connections between equipment, operations, finance and customer requirements are essential, and ERP solutions need to reflect that complexity.
- Oilfield Equipment Rental ProcessesSupport rental agreements, equipment availability and utilization, billing and related financial processes associated with oilfield equipment rentals.
- Equipment and Asset OperationsSupport equipment inventory, location, availability and related asset and financial processes within the services business.
- Project Related Financial ProcessesSupport project accounting and cost management requirements associated with field operations, service delivery and customer projects.
- Supply Chain and InventoryAlign procurement, inventory and supply-chain processes with the operational requirements of oilfield-services organizations.
- Financial ManagementSupport financial management and reporting across the revenue, cost, project and organizational structures of a services business.
