The Industries We Serve

Having the right software to handle large capital projects, complex international accounting, regulatory compliance, and intricate asset management is a major differentiator for energy companies.

Energy companies are looking to replace manual processes in the field and in their operational process with software solutions that can provide faster insights into actual costs. This allows management to make better and faster decisions, especially in rapidly-changing commodities markets. ERP Advisors Group can help energy companies differentiate the rich functionality of best-of-breed industry solutions against general ERP solutions that provide more of a platform play for the future.

ERP Help for Energy Companies

ERP Advisors Group will help your Energy company define requirements, set your software strategy, provide a roadmap, conduct a diligent vendor selection process, and manage the entire implementation.

Develop Your Energy ERP Strategy

We will define your software needs and wants as well as how you would ideally use new automated solutions across your entire energy company, whether you are an electricity generation, upstream, downstream, or midstream oil and gas, biofuels, solar, wind, or hydropower company.

Select Your New Software

We will guide you through selecting the best fit, most cost-effective business applications and implementation partners to manage your financials, inventory, assets, maintenance schedules, safety, compliance, and more.

Implementation Project Management

After finalizing your ERP software and services contracts, EAG stays with you to oversee your implementation until you successfully go live. We will oversee integrations, data migration, change management, budgets, design and configuration, walkthroughs, training, testing, and go-live cutover and will provide executive and project sponsor support throughout the duration of your project.

Data Migration

We assist with all components of migrating your data: extraction, cleansing, transformation, and loading into your new system to ensure you have complete confidence in the accuracy of your data at go live.

Why Energy Companies Upgrade Their ERP Software

Surveys across our energy clients reveal the most common reasons why they need new ERP to automate their business:

Manual intervention is required for basic tasks revolving around fleet tracking, equipment servicing, work orders, emissions tracking, etc.
Not provided with accurate, up-to-date information on financials, equipment information, budget to actuals on spend, and more.
No automated tracking of inventory borrowed or used across plants, creating unnecessary, time-consuming workarounds.
Cannot do fleet-wide maintenance within legacy software due to inefficient system setup and plant segregation.

Extreme difficulty maintaining, reporting, and retiring fixed assets due to heavy manual intervention.
Cash forecasting is difficult within legacy software, causing additional work, constant adjustment, and producing inaccurate results.
Manual tracking, calculation of depreciation, and entry into legacy software are time-consuming and inefficient.
Work-in-progress project detail visibility is lost in legacy software.

We had started our own process of selecting new software and decided to engage EAG after another oil and gas company referred them to us. They are knowledgeable and very engaged in the entire process. Having them on our team gives us peace of mind knowing that experts are looking out for our best interest. It is easy working with them.

Why You Should Hire ERP Advisors Group

"EAG brought a lot of value to our project. First, was their knowledge of the different software possibilities on the market. It was helpful for us to understand all of our options. This allowed us to avoid narrowing our options unintentionally or through bias. "

Resource-Constrained

Our rapidly-growing energy clients are already very busy with their day jobs and do not have time to become ERP experts. Though your key people still have to devote some time to an ERP initiative, hiring an ERP consultant frees them up to make the important ERP decisions while staying focused on their day job.

Complex Business Processes

The more complex your business, the more likely for difficulty when selecting and implementing software. ERP Advisors Group will help you uncover your true needs and will only vet the most viable options for your size, requirements, resources, and strategy.

Best Practices for Your Industry

We will create your requirements document and demonstration script with energy industry best practices in mind while retaining what is unique to your company, leaving out the manual workarounds.

Change Management

Many clients hire us to help when they suspect they need a business case for new software. ERP Advisors Group helps stakeholders buy into what is best for the company by getting their input at multiple stages throughout the Needs Analysis, Selection, and Implementation.

Vendor Demonstrations

A frequent complaint we hear from prospects who tried to select software on their own is feeling confused about the software's capabilities. We get vendors to show your requirements during their product demonstrations. This ensures you feel confident about selecting the best products that can meet your needs.

Contract Negotiations

We negotiate tens of millions of dollars in deals every year for our clients. We provide contract review on all terms and conditions, including software and services, and every agreement embedded throughout the contract. Our clients receive price protection for many years to come on their purchases. While we don't guarantee it in writing, we normally save our fees on this step alone.
