petris development executives calculated that the project would require significant additional resources. since there was no practical way they could staff up in time, the decision was made to outsource much of the work in order to expedite completion and rollout.

With Luxofts help, the petris team has been able to successfully complete the development of the petrisWinds operations Management suite , enabling petris to greatly expand its target market to include companies of all sizes worldwide.

the exploration and production of oil and gas is a global, 24/7 business that runs on information, which must be acquired, managed and shared to maximize its value. With demand for oil and gas at an all-time high coupled with a growing shortage of critical skills, companies need solutions that help them make better and faster decisions while preserving knowledge and reducing risk. oil and gas assets are by their very nature data intensive. With modern acquisition, networking and collaboration technology, energy industry managers are overloaded with well bore, seismic, drilling, production, interpretation and leasehold data, yet the management of that data is possibly the single most important activity an energy producer can undertake. With over 500 customers around the world, petris is a fast-growing houston-based company that pioneers innovative approaches to manage the vast universe of data inherent in the energy industry. By leveraging the power of network technologies, petris enables company-wide access to business critical assets including data, information, software, and knowledge. since the mid-1990s, petris has been successfully developing and marketing web-based, vendor-neutral technology solutions to resolve large and complex data management issues. these solutions enable oil and gas companies to realize increased value from their exploration, production and pipeline assets by greatly reducing project cycle times and operating expenses.

one of the firms key products is petrisWinds operations Management suite (oMs), the industrys first fully integrated, enterprise solution for managing, storing, processing, and analyzing drilling and production data. the key products within the suite include aFe Manager, Material transfer Manager, property Master, Well Lifecycle Manager, and production Manager. these tools are used to address specific needs of oil field operations and to provide real-time access to operational and financial information across the e&p enterprise. the previous product suite was functionally rich, but before the new version of oMs could be introduced to all the energy companies worldwide, it needed to be completely re-engineered to include several additional features, internationalization and scalability. the next generation project would be massive, requiring significant skilled resources to complete. since recruiting, hiring and training several people in time to meet their delivery goals was not practical, petris management turned to the experts at Luxoft for onshore and offshore support.

Luxofts core value proposition is to help clients succeed in the marketplace by applying technology, services and engineering excellence to complex problems and critical business issues. petris managers were impressed with Luxofts technological expertise, competence, and credentials, as well as their low corporate turnover. the firm had previous experience working closely with Luxofts parent company as well, so that became another positive determining factor in awarding the contract. of course, Luxofts competitive pricing helped tipped the scales in their favor. We are very impressed with Luxoft, says prakash roopani, development Manager for production and drilling Management solutions at petris. From an internal perspective, its been very stable. the project was launched with just 3 Luxoft employees in october 2008. the team was ramped up to 12 Luxoft employees in Q2 2009, most of them were based in Luxofts st. petersburg, russia location.
