Developing an automated investment monitoring and management system for Gazprom Invest

Developing an automated investment monitoring and management system based on Oracle Primavera, Microsoft Share Point and ITPS own products for Gazprom Invest, LLC

Project Objectives

Increasing efficiency and transparency of investment management throughout the project life cycle (preparation, implementation, and completion) to:

  • Inform managers in a timely manner on the progress of investment projects and enable them to take decisions based on actual data
  • Ensure visibility of the company's project activities related to capital construction
  • Ensure predictability of investment project results and reduce their risks
  • Manage design documentation and information, create investment project archives to incorporate key take-aways and lessons learnt into subsequent projects
  • Coordinate construction process stakeholders: design organizations and other contractors, suppliers, and operators

Synchronize operations of all company functions across a project

To achieve the above objective, ITPS developed a strategy for the planning and follow-up investment projects and an information system consisting of two modules:

  • Construction schedule management module based on Oracle Primavera
  • Gazprom Invest corporate portal based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

In addition, ITPS developed necessary reference documents and delivered workshops on how to use the system. Since the system’s initial deployment in 2011, its standard functionality has been significantly extended by adding other functions and integrating them with external systems, including:

  • Integration with Oracle Primavera and MS SharePoint
  • Development of a situation center
  • Design and implementation of GIS
  • Configuration of the manager workstation (РМР).

The information system serves the following functions:

  • Creation and updating of synchronized construction schedules based on a general project content structure (work breakdown) and standard templates
  • Monitoring construction progress with an optimized process of generating explanatory notes for project managers as a project progresses
  • Follow-up of tasks related to core activities and monitoring warranty obligations using dedicated services on the corporate portal
  • Consolidation of information on investment projects into project document archives

Result

The implemented system:

  • Provides a single view of an investment project, showing activity progress in the form of milestones for each facility
  • Provides a single, comprehensive view of the project scope for all stakeholders
  • Provides real-time monitoring of investment project progress, ensuring timely decision-making and preventing hold-ups

The automated investment monitoring and management system designed for projects with a duration of over 5 years is:

  • a reliably functioning and continuously developing comprehensive system for monitoring and managing investment projects
  • a system which integrates the activities of three major oil companies
  • a system which comprises over 100 active projects for the construction of oil and gas industry facilities (the total number exceeds 290) 
  • a system in which more than half of the projects are of strategic importance for Russia’s development
  • a system for the monitoring - in parallel - of over 700 tasks related to projects which are in progress, in the design phase, or part of company operational activities
  • a point of consolidation and generation of actual operating data on investment activities
  • a well-developed module for generating analytical reports, explanatory notes, and other documents on current projects or company operations
  • a user-friendly system with extensive functionality for viewing and visualizing data

Customer Feedback

"When developing the system, ITPS took into account the specific nature of capital construction projects in the oil and gas industry, demonstrating a high degree of competence and efficiency in resolving issues and proving to be a highly professional partner in general."
