GAZPROM ENERGY - OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE - EUC REMEDIATION

With a highly manual Excel-based architecture using legacy technology, Gazprom were unable to automate, scale or speed up their processes. Enter Schematiq...

The Problem

• Rigid legacy systems had spawned complex, time-consuming, Excel-based procedures that were unable to scale

• Reconciliation processes were at breaking point owing to very large amounts of data being handled in Excel

• Delivery of value was urgent to relieve over-stretched resources

• Focus on business value of processes (rather than technology directly)

• Identify biggest opportunities for improvement based on current time taken

• Automate existing data flows, improve version control, scale performance and reduce common errors
