IBM INDIA
PETROQUANTUM provided program management and domain expertise
to IBM in support of a major contract with a large Indian oil company.
The PETROQUANTUM consultant undertook the dual role of program
manager for IBM's client and IBM program executive to initiate and
deliver a range of systems projects in support of the deployment of a
new downstream petroleum business in India. The client was
intending to build a green-field retail network of more than 2000 service
stations and its attendant supply chain infrastructure against a
very aggressive schedule.
IBM, accountable as the program management contractor, required
deep petroleum industry knowledge, petroleum supply chain
knowledge, IT and IT infrastructure knowledge and strong project
and program management skills, a combination of expertise
unavailable within IBM. PETROQUANTUM was able to provide
this expertise to IBM and their client.
PETROQUANTUM's involvement significantly strengthened IBM's
initial value proposition and assisted greatly in closing the contract
with the client. PETROQUANTUM then ensured that the delivery
of the consulting and program management services to IBM's
client was well managed and delivered to the expectations of
both IBM and their client.
