Lessons from an Energy Controller: Lesson 2 – Expect the Unexpected | W Energy Software
Summary
I talked about my experience with the legacy plant accounting solution and the fact that over the course of three years it never settled our month correctly, not without heavy lifting, workarounds, and significant costs. My team at Agave (a Yates Petroleum subsidiary) decided to invite a few solution providers to demonstrate that their tech was up to the task of settling our unique business, which could be called a “throwdown” today. For our existing plant accounting solution provider, this was their last chance but instead of rising to the occasion, they gave us an ultimatum: call off the event and ignore the other vendors and they will fix everything. Joining the Agave review team was a high paid consultant, fluent in the status quo solution, and skeptical of everything else. The garage developers improved the outlook a bit by getting 70% of the allocations right and things really started to look good when the ERP vendor got 100% correct.
