A recent boom within the Energy sector (from oil and gas to utilities) has brought with it critical environmental compliance issues that require Energy companies to adhere strictly to policies and procedures.The complexity of transactions within this industry has driven an enterprise–wide initiative for aligning work towards a common business goal. Understanding process and implementation for diverse operation units, Innovative product portfolios and evolving regulatory compliances are proving to be major pain areas for Energy companies. Although existing ERP systems help manage itemized organization processes, there is a need for a unified process management system that encompasses the entire business ecosystem.


Business Challenges: Information Management: Energy companies are inundated with information, yet struggle to gain meaningful insights that drive business performance and add to the bottom line. Migrating existing business processes: To a collaborative platform through smart workflows. Centralized Information Repository: With hierarchy based access rights to ensure that business processes support key business objectives.		Lack of Lead Indicators: Even more importantly, organizations can only react to analysis they cannot pro-actively leverage this analysis to drive change. Map business tactics to strategy: Their business goals are not inherently tied to business tactics and actions, and there is no effective way to tie together the many touch points, workflow and processes.

The BPM Opportunity: The Energy sector can use a BPM platform for end-to-end, diverse business processes across the enterprise. Departments such as Procurement, Records, Inventory, and Billing etc. can all be aligned with their respective processes and associated documentation on a single platform. A process centric BPM approach ensures the following benefits:
Enterprise wide collaboration: Automatic work routing and notifications across groups, partners, and customers reduces the time, errors and complexity of executing processes. Reducing Human Intervention: Business rules in processes can help automate the routing and processing of tasks often reducing the amount of human intervention needed by over 80%. Real-time visibility and control over processes Managers can view real-time process performance and proactively manage bottlenecks. Extend the value and life of core systems: Leverage existing applications by reading and posting transactions while introducing more efficient Web-based forms and interfaces.		Process conformation to standards: Process models that actually run the process provide consistency, adherence and audit trails to ensure compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Agility: Rapidly modify processes to respond quickly to organization or regulatory changes Resource Utilization: Streamlined processes and approval workflows for human capital and asset management allow decision makers to optimize the use of organizational resources.
