EIS Implementation in a Major UAE Oil Producing Company

This major Oil and Gas producing company in the Gulf went through an implementation experience of EIS system in 2005. The EIS Implementation involved the replacement of the existing Maintenance, Supply, and Commercial system with a new EIS and an upgrade of the HR and Financial systems to the latest releases. The exercise was prompted by management's desire to replace the outdated ERP system in order to address shortcomings in functionality, to control the high cost of upgrades and modifications, and to enable implementation of the newly formulated Maintenance Policy. The project was deemed a success, even though it took longer than planned and the results were less than anticipated.
