Capgemini completes SAP software
implementation by deploying its EnergyPath solution
Capgemini, one of the world's foremost providers of
consulting, technology and outsourcing services, today announced it
completed the implementation of its cloud-based EnergyPath,
a qualified SAP partner solution, with Houston-based Excelerate
Energy, a leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation and
regasification provider. Designed for rapid deployment to provide
Excelerate Energy with robust finance, procurement and sales
capabilities while helping it to manage future growth, Capgemini
has implemented its SAP-qualified EnergyPath
solution, part of its Ready2Series1, provisioned
from Capgemini’s COMPLETE business cloud platform.
The first phase of the project was completed earlier this year,
equipping Excelerate Energy with an entirely new cloud-based
infrastructure, SAP® software licensing, and a full
implementation in less than four months.
Capgemini is providing Excelerate Energy with implementation
services, application management, SAP software licensing,
cloud-based infrastructure, and support. With phase one complete,
Capgemini and Excelerate Energy are currently implementing the
tools and solutions needed to effectively roll out new sales,
project management and mobile capabilities.
In 2013, Excelerate Energy divested from German-based parent
company RWE, which resulted in its requirement for a new
information technology infrastructure and an efficient platform
that could provide the internal service capabilities it needed to
remain competitive and prepare for future growth. By leveraging
Capgemini’s EnergyPath solution on COMPLETE, powered by Amazon Web
Services (AWS), Excelerate Energy was able to cost-effectively move
its finance, procurement, sales, planning and consolidation
operations to a cloud-based ERP platform on time and on budget.
Capgemini’s EnergyPath solution for oil and gas companies offers
an accelerated approach to implementing SAP Business Suite
software. Through the EnergyPath solution, Excelerate Energy is
able to benefit from the tools and infrastructure needed to
effectively improve operations and respond to common workflow
challenges. EnergyPath is part of Capgemini’s OnePath offering,
which bundles the SAP license with Capgemini’s services. Through
the offering, Capgemini simplifies adoption of SAP Business Suite
as a service, which combines SAP software, implementation, cloud
infrastructure and support from a single provider in a packaged
delivery model. Capgemini’s COMPLETE business cloud platform
allows customers to embrace a variety of Capgemini
solutions via the cloud, and is a turnkey managed service for
customers looking for a low-cost and efficient way to leverage
pay-per-use models for their enterprise infrastructure.
“After our divestiture from RWE, we needed to quickly and
efficiently implement an ERP system,” said Richard Hormann, Finance
Controller, Excelerate Energy. “We’ve been extremely impressed by
the overall speed-to-value provided by Capgemini. Within four
months, we are now running our finance and procurement operations
on a new ERP system that is specific to our industry thanks to
Capgemini and their cloud-based approach.”
“We are very happy to have successfully met our timeline to
complete phase one of Excelerate Energy’s implementation of SAP
software,” said Rob McKay, Senior Vice President, North America
Energy, Utilities and Chemicals Lead at Capgemini. ”By using our
EnergyPath solution and moving Excelerate Energy to the cloud,
we’ve provided the company with added operational agility to meet
its needs for future growth.”
“We’re excited to see transformative companies such as
Excelerate Energy deploying complex, multi-function SAP platforms
in production on AWS,” said Terry Wise, Director, Worldwide Partner
Ecosystem, Amazon Web Services. “Capgemini’s team of application
services experts has enabled Excelerate Energy to leverage the AWS
Cloud to reduce time to market, lower total cost of ownership, and
offer the flexibility to scale as the company grows.”
