Global Upstream IT Benchmark

Global Upstream IT Benchmark is an IT management tool that provides important economic performance indicators (or key performance indicators - KPIs) on the IT services of upstream oil and gas companies.

It benefits clients by providing indicators of how efficient or effective their IT organisation is in areas such as applications software, applications hosting, desktop computing & networks and communications services. This is achieved through accurate comparisons with other oil and gas companies of similar size and complexity. Clients receive reports that provide recommendations on how they can further improve economic performance, which in turn provide opportunities for improving productivity or reducing costs.

Aupec's benchmarking reports provide clients with reliable and robust metrics based on high quality, up-to-date data collected from unique industry peer groups. Reports are customised to the client's requirements.
