With up- and downstream oil and gas operations across 11 countries, Galp is a leading energy company, offering a comprehensive range of products and services. To prepare for the future of energy, Galp aims to build on its highly successful diversification strategy, transforming itself from a traditional oil and gas business into a modern, sustainable energy innovator – offering high-quality customer experiences and value-added services. In the past, the company relied on multiple different processes and systems to steer its global business, which made it difficult to deliver responsive, tailored services based on a single view of customer needs. At the same time, siloed operations were lengthening time-to-market for new data-driven initiatives – and Galp was keen to adopt intelligent business technologies to help support and accelerate its transformation journey.
