SBM Offshore Case Study

SBM Offshore, a global leader in the offshore energy sector, has successfully addressed significant challenges in data standardization and departmental alignment by implementing Cleopatra Enterprise, a state-of-the-art project and turnaround software.

Before adopting Cleopatra, SBM Offshore faced critical challenges related to the standardization and centralization of data, as well as the alignment of its Estimating and Construction departments. This lack of alignment led to frequent ad-hoc analyses and complex reconciliation processes, negatively impacting operational efficiency. Despite previous efforts to enhance communication channels and review processes, SBM Offshore identified the need for a more efficient, streamlined digital solution.

After evaluating various digital solutions on the market, SBM Offshore chose Cleopatra Enterprise for its extensive, ready-to-use features that required only minimal customization. Cleopatra’s functionality perfectly matched SBM Offshore’s requirements, making it a practical choice for the company.

The implementation process went smoothly, although SBM Offshore noted that further customization was necessary to meet specific reporting expectations. Nonetheless, these challenges were resolved through close collaboration between SBM Offshore and the Cleopatra team. They demonstrated a proactive approach and a strong understanding of SBM Offshore’s business processes, suggesting relevant solutions to meet their needs.

Since implementing Cleopatra, SBM Offshore has achieved a significant increase in transparency between the Estimating and Construction departments. The company can now generate detailed Bills of Quantities (BoQs) within seconds, allowing for data standardization across multiple levels. This advancement has markedly improved their BoQ estimation processes, and SBM Offshore anticipates additional benefits as these departments continue to mature.

SBM Offshore eagerly anticipates the release of Cleopatra 11.0, which promises a range of new features, including a simplified interface and maintenance for their users.
