Company Overview & Business Challenges
STG is one of UAE largest companies in the Oil & Gas sector with more than four decades in business.
As a long established business, STG was stuck with legacy, unsupported applications which were not integrated nor provided any business intelligence. The leadership & finance team placed a high importance on real-time financial & operational visibility, however, their existing systems did not have the capability to aggregate or process it.
They also struggled with their inability to gather and analyze real-time customer information, which resided in the brains of an aging workforce rather than in databases. This resulted in a lot of frustration when trying to develop a single-customer view across multiple employees in multiple locations.
Lastly, the company had recently implemented Microsoft 365 as part of their business modernization initiatives & needed a solution that could integrate natively with the Microsoft cloud.
We long struggled with a lack of visibility across critical business metrics such as demand fluctuations, which resulted in substantial financial losses.TheDynamicsPeople have helped setup real-time dashboards that allow us to make informed business decisions.This one feature alone has paid for the software & implementation many time over.– Director, STG Group
TheDynamicsPeople’s Solution
STG reached out to TheDynamicsPeople based on another client’s recommendation. The team at TheDynamicsPeople kicked off our proven Functional Requirements Discovery process which was designed to help STG clearly articulate their current & future business ERP needs. This FRD was then used as the basis for developing an outcome-oriented Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation roadmap.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was chosen for it’s flexibility, customizability and it’s native integration with powerful AI tools across Microsoft 365.
Once STG was satisfied with the roadmap, we commenced implementation in a phased-manner, replacing their old accounting system.
The entire process of moving to TheDynamicsPeople was very straightforward and professional.They took their time to understand our business and offered actionable solutions.– Director, STG Group
