Assessing & Mitigating ERP Implementation Risk for Large Oil & Gas Enterprise

CLIENT NEEDS:

During an ERP (enterprise resource planning) implementation process, an oil and gas
enterprise had encountered a host of challenges and experienced unfortunate material
pain-points in their production as a result.

The enterprise sought the help of Axiom Path as a trusted advisor to identify the
challenges associated with the new ERP solution and offer effective and actionable risk
mitigation considerations.

AXIOM PATH SOLUTION:

Throughout a four-week period, we conducted a post-mortem assessment of the ERP
implementation process—focusing on several key areas, including:

  • Governance
  • Approach & Execution
  • Organizational Change Management (OCM)
  • Quality Assurance
  • Information Architecture & Reporting
  • Technical Execution
  • Rollout

Our deliverables included:

  • Material Impact Observations
  • Material Recommended Mitigating Action Items
  • Observation Root Causes (Implementation Phase)
  • Detailed Observations
  • Interview List
  • Review Toolkit

MEASURABLE OUTCOMES:

From our post-mortem review, we were able to document seven material impacts, and we
recommended mitigating actions—including scope, approach, effort, and proposed
timing.

Additionally, we isolated 40 detailed observations, documented their descriptions and
impacts, and offered recommendations.
