Consulting

SAP enterprise resource planning sits at the centre of finance, procurement, maintenance and reporting for most large operators. CradleSolution advises organisations already running SAP, and those preparing to, on how the platform should reflect the way the business actually works.

Our work covers module configuration, master data structure, integration with field and plant systems, and the reporting layer that management depends on. We work alongside internal teams rather than replacing them, so that capability stays in the organisation after the engagement ends.

Where a rollout spans several operating countries, we address the differences in statutory reporting, currency and local process that make a single global template difficult to hold together.

IT governance is the set of controls that lets management state, with evidence, that technology is being run responsibly. CradleSolution implements and trains on the established frameworks: ITIL for service management, COBIT for control objectives, and ISO 20000 and ISO 27001 for service and information security management.

We deliver this work across Oil & Gas, Finance and Consumer Services. The framework is the same in each; the risk profile is not. An upstream operator's concern with control system integrity is a different problem from a financial institution's concern with data handling, and the implementation reflects that.

Engagements typically begin with an assessment of current practice against the chosen framework, followed by process design, documentation, and training for the staff who will own each process.
