About The Customer
PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos) is the largest company in Latin America and ranks 31st among the largest companies worldwide. With 150,000 employees, PEMEX is a major player in the oil and energy sector. The company holds third place globally in terms of crude oil production, first place in offshore hydrocarbon production, ninth place in oil reserves, and twelfth in revenues. This case study focuses on the implementation of the AuraQuantic iBPMS solution in the PEMEX Exploration and Production Division, a key division within the company.
The Challenge
PEMEX, the largest company in Latin America and a global leader in crude oil production, faced significant challenges in managing its operations. Despite its size and influence, most of its operations and processes were carried out manually, not automatically. This was largely due to the use of a system called SEAPSA, which had been in place for over a decade. The company recognized that this manual approach was not the most efficient way to manage the organization. Key business processes such as Job Applications, Technology Change Administration, Minor Change Administration, Design Process Automation, and Monitoring and Control of Vehicle Maintenance and Mechanical Integrity were all carried out manually. This led to issues such as task duplication, reliance on paper documentation and Excel spreadsheets, and high complexity in several processes. The company also faced challenges in integrating with external systems.
The Solution
PEMEX decided to automate its business processes and carried out an evaluation of several BPM Suites. The company prioritized parameters such as short implementation times, automatic document and library integration, and easy integration with other applications using Web Services and Adapter Server. PEMEX chose the AuraQuantic iBPMS solution due to its rapid implementation and deployment, licensing scheme adapted to their needs, quick response to maintenance requests, fast Return on Investment, auditing support, automatic integration of electronic document libraries, decision-making support, business status availability in real-time, agile integration with other applications, support when updating electronic models, and help to maintain operational discipline. The AuraQuantic solution included many predefined business processes, and new models could be created without the need for IT programming. This significantly reduced implementation times. For example, the “Design Process Automation” process, which is highly complex and includes the participation of 150 users, was implemented in just 3 months.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of the AuraQuantic iBPMS solution brought about significant operational and financial benefits for PEMEX. The company was able to realize immediate results and could quickly make changes to processes without having to wait for IT staff. The elimination of paperwork represented a huge cultural change for the staff. The workflows are now in charge of controlling business activities, providing the necessary information for their optimum execution. The automatic creation of all types of documents directly from the process tasks using Base Documents has resulted in extraordinary time savings, as well as a secure and error-free platform for document management and delivery. The business status knowledge is obtained in real time, allowing for focused analysis, drill down, and statistical comparisons of performance trends for Processes or groups of Processes that have completed their cycles.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 63% Improvement in efficiency
  • 75% increase in analytical capacity
  • Rapid Return on Investment with payback periods ranging between 4 months for the “Design Process Automation˝ process and a year for the “Job Application” process
