About the Client


 
The client was established in the year 1999 by the Government of Abu Dhabi to implement the Gas Project. This unique strategic energy initiative began gas production in July 2007.

Approximately 30% of entire UAE's power requirement is fulfilled by the natural gas supply from the client.
 





Business Situation




 
As a leading oil and gas company, the client has an extensive supplier base to fulfill its business needs. They have close to 3000 suppliers' and 40,000 materials' information in the master data. It uses SAP MM, SD, PS, PM and FI modules to meet its various business requirements. In traditional SAP ERP, sourcing is done by InfoRecord, or contract and supplier have to be registered manually to include them in the RFQ process, thus it was on individual discretion whether to include a supplier in the RFQ process.

  • Lack of system to keep track of potential supplier list
  • Valuable time spent on answering vendor queries on order status
  • Inability to evaluate vendors automatically
