SUMMARY:
Through a comprehensive modernization initiative, we transformed a legacy oil and gas Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software platform. We enhanced the user experience by revamping the interface and overhauled the technical infrastructure, resulting in improved platform uptime and stability. Additionally, we successfully implemented Agile methodologies, introducing a more iterative and collaborative approach to project management, which was a significant shift from the traditional Waterfall methodology that the client was accustomed to. Furthermore, we updated the technology stack, incorporating cutting-edge tools and technologies to enhance system reliability and performance. These enhancements have empowered the client's employees to work more efficiently, eliminating the frustrations caused by the outdated and cumbersome interface of the legacy ERP system. As a result, job satisfaction has increased, fostering a more productive and engaged workforce.
CLIENT
A Mexican-based oilfield service company.
REQUEST BACKGROUND
The client, hindered by an antiquated ERP system plagued with bugs and intricate user workflows, sought to upgrade their oil and gas-specific ERP software. Their goal was to establish a user-friendly platform that would enhance task efficiency, boost productivity, and reinforce their business operations and growth. To achieve this, they searched for an ERP software development company proficient in the oil and gas sector.
After evaluating various options, the client selected Levisoft based on its proven track record in developing solutions for oil and gas companies. It was evident that our technological prowess and skilled workforce made us the ideal partner to fulfill their requirements.
CHALLENGE
GOALS
SOLUTION
To kick off the legacy ERP system modernization process, we shared and aligned project management methodologies before the contract was signed. The client was familiar with the Waterfall management approach, which involves assigning tasks and documenting requirements in a linear, sequential manner. We introduced them to the Agile approach, specifically Scrum, which we had successfully used in previous ERP software development projects. This would allow for a shift from Waterfall to Agile with minimal disruption to their work processes.
After the custom ERP software development contract was signed, we implemented Scrum practices. To respect the client's organizational culture, we adopted the Scrumban methodology, a hybrid of Scrum and Kanban. This combined the structure of Scrum with the flexibility and flow-based method of Kanban, enhancing team efficiency and productivity. Artifacts like user stories and the project knowledge base were adjusted to align with the client's company style and setup.
Technically, the project involved a thorough reengineering process. Due to incomplete platform documentation, we conducted knowledge-sharing sessions with internal employees to assess the architecture and business logic of the legacy ERP system.
After modifying the client's existing software development workflow and gaining a better understanding of the technical issues, we focused on project deliverables. These included:
