Client Overview

A multinational energy and utilities conglomerate operating across upstream, midstream, and downstream business units. The company manages complex operations across asset-intensive environments, financial planning cycles, procurement ecosystems, and large-scale ERP systems.

To modernize finance operations, improve forecasting accuracy, and streamline enterprise applications, the client partnered with Xevyte to establish a Finance & Enterprise Applications Global Capability Center (GCC) in India.

Business Challenge

The client faced growing organizational complexity driven by global expansion, high operational costs, and siloed financial processes. Key challenges included:

• Limited analytics visibility for strategic decision-making
• High dependency on regional finance teams and external vendors
• Talent shortage in specialized FP&A and enterprise application roles

The client needed a centralized GCC to drive process standardization, financial automation, ERP modernization, and analytics-driven insights.
