Challenge

BCEC faced business process fragmentation with heavy manual dependencies

Black Cat Engineering & Construction (BCEC) is Qatar’s largest EPCI and maintenance contractor for the oil and gas industry. To effectively manage its huge volume of operations, the company needed a modernized, cloud-based ecosystem. The existing landscape was replete with fragmentation, making it difficult for business stakeholders to collaborate and track complex projects. Manual work added to data redundancy and limited holistic visibility of financial reporting. BCEC needed a centralized system for business process management and automated approval workflow, making it more agile.

Solution

TCS helps reimagine end-to-end processes - from tendering to construction

TCS initiated a greenfield implementation for the construction company, establishing EPCI industry-standard business processes. Based on Business 4.0™ pillars, TCS implemented a multi-functional solution built on Oracle cloud services.

TCS also co-developed an automated, project-based procurement process tailored for the EPCI industry. By leveraging the entire suite of Oracle cloud products for the EPCI industry (including components such as Oracle Procurement Cloud, Oracle ERPM Cloud, and Oracle HCM Cloud), TCS successfully facilitated a 360-degree transformation of BCEC’s business process landscape:

• Adapted the Oracle cloud’s AI features such as advanced analytics and predictive capabilities streamline sourcing, HR data analysis, and future planning.
• Leveraged Oracle Platform as a Service (PaaS) to connect multiple cloud environments and key legacy applications.
• Made use of Oracle Fusion Primavera SaaS on the cloud to build a centralized solution while standardizing the entire tendering process

We are delighted to partner with TCS on this 360° transformation journey
