ERP System Modernization for Enhanced Operational Efficiency in the Energy Sector

The client is experiencing issues with an outdated ERP system characterized by legacy code practices, a heterogeneous and obsolete technology stack (such as AngularJS, .NET Framework 4.5, MySQL 5.6), and complex user interfaces. These issues result in critical bugs, system outages, inefficient workflows, and difficulty in sourcing skilled support staff. Additionally, the outdated UI hampers user productivity and satisfaction, impeding operational growth and resilience.

A large-scale oil and gas enterprise seeking to upgrade their aging ERP platform to improve user experience, system reliability, and operational agility.
