Mumbai – Rolta TUSC was honored as a recipient of the annual North American Titan Award, for the seventh time, in the Energy Industry Solution category at a ceremony held yesterday during Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. The Oracle North American Titan Award winners were selected for excellence in solving real-world customer challenges and for their development and deployment of Oracle technology. Rolta TUSC was recognized for its achievement in developing and implementing a Shutdown Cost Control application for the oil and gas industry and its deployment for Chevron to provide visibility into critical cost data at their Pascagoula, Miss. refinery.
Cost control during a refinery’s planned shutdown or plant turnaround events, where equipment maintenance is performed for an entire section of a refinery, is a huge challenge. Rolta leveraged its deep Oil and Gas industry knowledge and its Business Intelligence (BI) Process Framework to exploit Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition toolsets to present critical cost data from the Pascagoula refinery’s financial, timesheet, purchase order, work management and Primavera scheduling systems through intuitive dashboards with less than one day’s latency to provide actionable insights. At the core behind hundreds of BI solutions, including the energy industry specific Rolta OneView solution, Rolta’s BI Process Framework combines proven architectures and processes to ensure success.
“In today’s oil market, cost cutting has become an essential means of staying competitive,” said John Long, Senior Analyst for Chevron’s Pascagoula refinery. “Our cost engineers now have dynamic visibility into cost overruns before they happen, significantly reducing the overall cost of turnaround projects. The tool, which enabled us to realize a return on investment in its first use, has become an integral part of our business processes.”
“Rolta TUSC is a premier go-to partner for Oracle in the energy sector – and indeed across all industries - for innovative and high performance solutions,” said Tyler Prince, Group Vice President, North America Applications Channel Sales for Oracle. “The implementation at Chevron not only showcases Rolta’s expertise with Oracle technology, but also its ability to proactively solve real-world business problems for our joint clients.”
“Any company in the midst of a large capital project could benefit from this type of cost intelligence, and other key features of the Rolta OneView solution. It graphically highlights how events are proceeding compared to plan and provides visibility of each cost driver in a way that offers insights and supports proactive decision making,” explained Eric Camplin, Vice President for Rolta TUSC. “We’re honored to be recognized for our achievement with such a prestigious award.”
A featured session at Oracle OpenWorld, Chevron’s John Long presented the powerful results of the Rolta TUSC-designed application at a presentation titled, “Leading-Edge Solutions for the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry.” For more information on Chevron and Rolta TUSC’s participation at this year’s conference, please visit: http://www.tusc.com/oracle/news/news_20100810-443.html
