Case Study

P2 Energy

P2 Energy Solutions (P2) is best known for providing accounting and financial software for energy corporations. By embedding ProcessMaker in its existing offering, P2 has expanded its solution capabilities to better serve its customers. P2’s customers relied on manual, human-driven tasks to meet workflow needs, limiting the ability for each client to reach its full operational potential. The energy solution provider required a workflow platform that integrated easily with its legacy systems, yet delivered powerful enterprise functionality. To solve this issue, ProcessMaker’s platform integrated with P2 to create P2 Workflow, a comprehensive OEM solution that solves complex workflow challenges for P2 customers.

The Problem

P2 Energy previously housed workflows within a specific application. This posed multiple problems due to the increasing need to gather information from several systems, then leverage that information to execute workflows. As P2 Energy’s customer base has grown, clients managed platforms familiar to staff, yet expensive to maintain. Due to their outdated nature, many of these platforms don’t have the desired functionality required to meet each customers’ needs. P2 Energy’s technology stack included over 100 different software solutions, required a workflow solution to compliment existing systems. Its lease approval process didn’t connect to other processes, and integration for production volumes often went to external software. In addition, P2 Energy’s geological offerings were not part of traditional accounting packages. Having a workflow software solution that could be easily integrated and white-labeled was critical to meet state and federal regulations, while exceeding customer demands.

The Solution

P2 clients began exploring ways to reduce or eliminate repetitive tasks to drive down costs and adopt more efficient workflows, eventually adopting the ProcessMaker platform as an OEM solution into the solution suite. The solution was branded as P2 Workflow. ProcessMaker was able to connect several systems into one platform to solve customer requirements across the enterprise, delivering the tailored, customizable solutions needed by oil and gas companies for their customer bases. P2 Energy would also train its staff on the ProcessMaker platform to deliver solutions to their customers as quickly as possible.

The Value Created

Today, P2 Workflow—powered by ProcessMaker—layers over top of its legacy environment to call, process, and distribute data across its clients’ enterprises to solve business needs. P2 successfully configured P2 Workflow to call data from across their client’s enterprise—linking information to create solutions ranging from land management to geospatial data, to oil and gas, accounting, and more. P2’s Workflow solution knits together a wide variety of disparate point solutions and legacy systems to extend value. By pre-packaging common workflows to the oil and gas sector, P2 Energy saves implementation time by quickly customizing “out of the box.” Operational visibility is enhanced as a result, and repetitive, manual tasks are now automated, saving time, money, and precious resources in the process. Additional value is achieved through each integration’s specific client requirements—even third party systems on the domain, department, or cross-company levels. This level of connectivity is known to be a major driver of organizational performance from the top down. P2 Workflow has also used workflow mapping to create a highly effective IT risk management solution for system upgrades and future technological changes for their oil and gas customers. P2’s unmatched expertise and leadership in addressing the technical challenges of the oil and gas industry — combined with ProcessMaker’s intelligent platform — has created a comprehensive, integrated solution tailored to address the unique business needs of the modern energy industry.
