Energy

Industry ChallengesThe Energy industry of the future will be considerably different to today’s. To cope with an ever-growing energy consuming urbanized population, while facing intensifying pressure to decarbonize and reduce environmental impact, energy companies are turning to Sapphire Systems to help improve their operational efficiencies that move their business forward faster.

Today, the volatile price of fossil fuels has led to fears over energy insecurity/dependencies, but this is not the only challenge. The changing political environment has made capital investment harder to access, meaning energy companies must focus on maintaining existing assets. Energy production is subject to increasing regulation to ensure the safety of workers and the natural environment. The realities of climate change mean that energy companies are also facing regulatory pressure to reduce pollution from the production process as well as consumer use.

Energy companies need to adopt a business model that allows them to react quickly to an unpredictable market, while also developing practices that benefit the organization’s bottom line as well as that of their customers and the global environment in the long term. Moving data to the cloud

will transform how energy businesses operate, allowing them to realize the benefits of “Big Data” to predict market conditions and become more reactive, optimize processes, improve asset management and integrate with other organizations to share resources.

Sapphire’s extensive knowledge of the energy marketplace means we can support organizations across the sector, from small exploration focused businesses to companies with large, diverse asset portfolios.

Our cloud-based solutions provide complete visibility over the operational and financial performance of the business through a single system which seamlessly integrates with specialist software and applications.

We provide world-leading business solutions that enable energy companies to maximize the value of the assets they already own with optimized maintenance programs.

Our SolutionsEnterprise Resource Planning Sapphire’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system provides you with a single, integrated, software platform designed to consolidate information across your entire business. By including financials, market data, supply chain management, operational and asset management, an ERP system will enable your business to make effective and informed decisions, react to market instability, and improve revenue efficiency. Sapphire’s ERP solutions have been supporting organizations across the energy spectrum for over twenty years.

To meet the increasing intricacy of global and local reporting and regulatory requirements, Sapphire Energy Solutions provide oversight of all parts of the business. The Joint Venture Accounting functions allow you to accurately calculate revenue share for multiple resource partnerships accurately.

In the asset-intensive energy sector, effective asset management is critical to reduce downtime, ensure environmental, health and safety compliance, and boost profitability. Our software minimizes the complexity of asset management with integrated predictive maintenance and performance monitoring linked to machine sensors.

Sophisticated project management tools enable efficient work scheduling while access to operations and reporting via mobile improves efficiency in the field.

As renewable energy sources contribute a greater proportion of the energy mix, effective management of energy storage

resources and distribution across the grid will require organizations to process and analyze increasing quantities of data from both the external market and inside the business.

Sapphire’s solutions provide instant collaboration between operations and information technology, allowing you to access relevant data from all parts of the business in real time.

Enterprise Asset Management

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software will ensure that you maximize the effective life of your assets and infrastructure. The power of EAM lies in its ability to align manpower, equipment and resources, maximizing all aspects of asset management and preventive maintenance. Integration with mobile working applications, the back office and the Internet of Things combine to deliver real return on investment.
