BP

Creating a new data warehouse system based on Internet technology

PA helped BP create a data warehouse system for optimising worldwide procurement. Oyster allows BP to pursue its commitment to devoted decision-making, yet at the same time sharing knowledge and information to obtain the benefits of aggregating purchases across the organisation. With improved co-ordination on purchasing, new and beneficial supplier arrangements, closer teamwork and global reach, the impact of the database solution on BP’s bottom line is substantial.
