IT Strategy
1. IT and Financial System Evaluation:
Aporia conducted an assessment of the information technology and financial system requirements for the client to become self sufficient in IT systems. The assessment included foundation for scaling up, uncomplicated systems identification, “out of box” product approach, outsourcing options for infrastructure maintenance and CIO function, budget requirement setup to achieve these objectives and high level time line and milestones for implementation and key events
2. Information Technology Strategy and Architecture:
Aporia developed and delivered an Information Technology Strategy report. This document included network architecture (includes design, switches, servers, routers, firewall), core and supporting applications, information systems security strategy, management controls, budget forecast, data centers status and management.
3. External verification of accuracy and integrity of Financial Applications:
The client wanted an audit to review the Information Technology System currently in use, and to advise and make recommendations regarding current and future IT decisions within the group. Aporia identified all the modules that “feed” different modules of application, identified and reviewed the dataflow and potential sources of errors, made recommendations to improve processes and controls, verified the relevant security and data validation feature available in application are activated within current configuration and presented the findings to the management.
4. IT Assessment, Data Assessment and Strategy:
This involved identifying all the current systems, applications, and data sources. We made recommendations for the appropriate strategy to support their growth and expansion. We interviewed the different business groups and made observations and recommendations for each functional area.
5. Workflow Management Project:
By using a reporting tool to access an Oracle database, Aporia developed a series of reports (in data and graphical formats) to provide ad hoc and production information on employee workflow, developed and implemented the deployment process to the sixteen regional offices, and tutored the users on running and using these reports
6. Oil and Gas Production Forecasting:
By using a reporting tool to access an Oracle database, we will develop a series of reports (in both data and graphic format) to provide ad hoc and production information on forecasting oil and gas well production. We must define, develop, test and get approval from the employees using the reports.
