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. Read More
About 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. Read More
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. Read More Log in to view content
