- Oil & Gas organizations experiencing price and demand volatility mixed with radical technological change depend on SMYRNA domain expertise to find safe harbor.
- The O&G supermajor implemented a system that brings a step change in the way they engage with their B2B customers & channel partners in global commercial and retail businesses through rapidly growing digital channels.
- SMYRNA was involved from the outset of this digital initiative – from shaping the solution to implementing and supporting business critical applications. Our team worked hand-in-hand with the client to initially assess the requirements, then propose the toolsets and architecture required to best meet the O&G supermajor’s needs.
- Initially developed following Waterfall methodology the team successfully switched mid-program to Agile methodology, embracing the Scaled Agile Framework model. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) was used for the digital aspects of the solution, SAP Hybris for the e-commerce elements and a bespoke Java-based application to manage the authentication and profile of each user, elegantly interlaced with the client’s Active Directory.
- The program is now the largest, most complex and most successful implementation of Agile delivery across the supermajor’s global business. In addition to the methodology and automation of build, testing (quality and security) was a critical success factor for this launch.
- The system now delivers a clearly differentiated B2B offering and integrates fully with the company-wide SAP, transforming the way the supermajor and their global business customers operate on a daily basis. It is recognized as a critical platform for future growth of the global commercial and retail businesses
