Project Overview

IBA Group created a comprehensive solution based on SAP HANA, a modern high–performance platform that combines analytical tools, means of transaction processing, and large amounts of data (ERP and BI).

The system was launched simultaneously in all seventeen branches and the administrative office of a major oil and gas company.

In 2014, the system was launched in compliance with the project calendar schedule. According to the requirements specification, the following business processes of our customer were automated:
