SAP Accredits HCL AXON Solution for the Oilfield Services Sector

LONDON, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
HCL AXON, the global SAP enabled transformation consultancy, have had
their Rapid Deployment Toolkit (RDT) for the Oilfield Services Sector
accredited by SAP UK. The RDT provides a pre-configured solution for
Oilfield Services companies which enhances SAP's ERP package. It consists
of a number of elements to accelerate the design and implementation
whilst reducing risk:

-- Pre-configured SAP solution that accelerates design and build phases
and enables "design by demo" approach
-- Comprehensive documentation, operating model, processes and training
materials
-- Enhancements to support oilfield services companies such as off-line
working for off-shore personnel in areas with limited communication
connection and automated client project related billing.

The next release of the RDT includes accelerators for Business
Objects, which was acquired by SAP in 2008.

The RDT solution has been developed and enhanced over the last five years
around real client experiences gained by working with global
organisations. HCL AXON have been able to accelerate project lifecycles
with one client achieving their first go-live in 90 days. The solution
has been selected by a variety of Oilfield Services and other
organisations including those involved in well services, offshore marine
services and pipelines.

Joe Campbell, Head of HCL AXON's Oil and Gas practice in EMEA said, 'HCL
AXON are delighted to be partnering with SAP in the Oil and Gas Sector and
that they have accredited the RDT. The RDT is mature, comprehensive and
enables both national and global Oilfield Services clients to rapidly
deploy the benefits of SAP with lower costs than can be achieved with the
generic off-the-shelf SAP product. With the RDT, we hit the ground running
-- within a very short period of time, our consultants have a design that
leverages the RDT assets, our global experience and our client's specific
requirements.' Campbell added, 'With the current market volatility, we are
seeing increasing interest from Oilfield Services organisations. These
organisations wish to implement best practice controls and processes in
the quickest possible time frame as margins tighten and the market is
becoming more competitive.'
