The Challenge
BP, one of the largest energy companies in the world, is facing the dual challenge of meeting the increasing global demand for energy while reducing emissions. The key to achieving these goals is to leverage digital solutions, big data, and advanced technologies. The BP IT&S team is tasked with accelerating the pace of technology delivery, securing data access, and reducing dependencies on costly and time-consuming legacy systems. The team needed to modernize legacy systems to speed up access to applications and data, shift the role of IT from simply delivering technology solutions to enabling the business to take advantage of digital technology, and develop a Center for Enablement (C4E) to drive the adoption of BP’s API strategy.
About The Customer
BP is one of the world's largest energy companies, producing 18.4 million tonnes of oil per year and powering economic growth with 74,000 employees in over 70 countries. As the world demands more energy, it also demands that it be produced and delivered in new ways with fewer emissions. BP is embracing this dual challenge and making bold changes to modernize its business. The key to BP achieving these business goals is to unleash the potential of digital solutions, big data, and advanced technologies.
The Solution
BP adopted an API strategy with MuleSoft to accelerate IT delivery. By unlocking key systems, applications, and data with APIs, central IT can empower the business to self-serve and develop their own technology solutions, speeding up project delivery and supercharging innovation. BP established a C4E central incubation team to evangelize APIs the business can self-serve to deliver technology initiatives faster. Today, the C4E serves more than 20 product teams and over 100 APIs are available. BP delivered innovative products and services with Anypoint Platform™, including BPme, Air BP, Strala, and Operator Workbench.
Operational Impact
  • BP’s API strategy continues to accelerate IT delivery speed, while maintaining central governance.
  • The IT&S team is able to deliver on the digital needs of a global energy business.
  • Over a third of the APIs and integrations built are reused, enabling faster deployment of solutions in new markets.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 2X faster app development
  • 290K BPme transactions daily
  • 100+ APIs available in C4E
