28 Oct 2015 GASCO & ClearPeaks presented with Finalist Award at Oracle OpenWorld 2015

GASCO & ClearPeaks are proud to have been presented a Finalist Award for “Big Data & Business Analytics” at the Oracle Excellence Awards for their successful deployment of a fully integrated, innovative and highly advanced Enterprise BI Platform.

Arguably the most advanced Oil & Gas Analytics environment in the Gulf region, the GASCO BI platform, delivered by ClearPeaks, extends the capabilities of Oracle BI ensuring optimal customer experience and user adoption, whilst leveraging the Oracle platform’s versatility and robustness.

The GASCO & ClearPeaks BI collaboration is proud to announce a user adoption of over 1000 active users across all departments and production sites, from C-level to site management and down to operational analysts, consuming more than 300 corporate reports and over 15 corporate BI dashboards daily. The entire enterprise is now enabled on one integrated platform.

Back in 2010 the picture was very different. GASCO was facing all the common challenges encountered in enterprises, that being the impossibility to enable management insight and reporting due to the lack of integration and consolidation of key business data and metrics. GASCO were working with a plethora of departmental and disconnected data sources, catering for very basic operational reporting, but making it impossible to drive decision making, data governance and to deploy commonly agreed business reporting rules. A further complication was that different technologies were being used across departments, adding to the user frustration of not having common and consistent standards and functionalities.

At this time, GASCO engaged ClearPeaks to embark on the journey of materialising their vision of a fully integrated, scalable enterprise-wide BI platform offering a single, reliable one-stop-shop for all GASCO reporting needs and deploying powerful, state-of-the-art visualizations to enhance user adoption with the following key objectives:

* Enabling a Business Insight across all divisions on a common platform
* Driving key management decision making * Driving user adoption whilst reducing IT dependencies
* Addressing data quality, integration, governance & consolidation challenges
* Unifying diverse sources of information to optimize reporting performance Core to materialising this vision, ClearPeaks set out to deploy a centralised data warehouse, integrating the complex array of data sources present at GASCO, harmonising master data and enabling cross-functional, enterprise-wide and strategic reporting.
