Complex Re-engineering of a Centralised Business System for Lowering Cost, Increased Resilience, and Scalability
TechnipFMC wanted a technological and functional modernisation of its centralised business system
TechnipFMC provides its clients with FuelFACS comprised of a local facility business system and centralised business system that automates end-to-end business and operational processes throughout refined petroleum and lubricants terminals. It manages every aspect of product movement, terminal access and entry, producing bill of ladings, reconciliation of product inventory, and ERP integration. Launched in the early 2000s, FuelFACS needed a major technological revamp to improve performance and scalability as well as to decrease support costs and manpower. TechnipFMC also wanted to move away from costly on-premises customisations and upgrades for every client.
ELEKS rebuilt the platform and updated its architecture to fit the cloud
The ELEKS team started with a 2-week client visit to collect system artefacts, clarify the client’s ultimate architecture vision and kick-off development.
FuelFACS was implemented as a single-page web app with an infrastructure updated to fit the cloud.
ELEKS’ experts helped migrate the FuelFACS web app to Azure. The migration solved performance issues and allowed for the centralised propagation of updates and customisations, thus eliminating the necessity to host the app on the client’s side.
One of the major advantages of ELEKS’ cooperation with TechnipFMC was the gradual transition to Agile principles within its development and product management team. Agile helped improve the development process by increasing customer engagement and reducing time to market.
