The Energy and Resources Industry continues to develop in the midst of extraordinary change, spurred by growth in exploration & production (E&P) and alternative energy sources, as well as regulatory constraints and a focus on sustainability. The U.S. domestic growth, restructuring, deregulation, and corporate consolidations are changing both upstream and strategies and operations. Therefore, the opportunities for supply chain improvements are bringing heightened value creation.

Meeting Your Challenges
The Energy and Resources Industry faces many challenges today. The E&P upstream side must create materials for products needed for the retail and wholesale downstream channels, and do so with operational efficiencies that permit profitable growth.
New drilling sites, and types such as Shale Gas, bring new supply chain challenges that require new thinking and innovation. Plus, new retail and wholesale channels, including eCommerce and fulfillment, are challenging the legacy processes, practices, and technologies at an unprecedented rate of change.
