The Challenge
A leading public upstream energy company recently acquired a substantial portfolio of producing assets in the Northeast Appalachia area and needed to efficiently integrate these assets from a legacy Excalibur ERP system into their Quorum ERP system. The client sought a partner who could lead the effort within a tight 6-month TSA period while ensuring minimal business disruption and decided to engage Opportune due to our deep industry expertise and proven ability to handle integration challenges efficiently.
The Solution
Opportune provided end-to-end project leadership and technical execution to deliver smooth and efficient integration. The approach included:
- Data Cleansing and Integration: Leveraged Opportune’s Data Translation Tool via Alteryx to execute thorough data cleansing, conversion, and seamless integration from Excalibur into Quorum across various modules, including Master Data, JIB, Revenue, General Ledger, and Land.
- Comprehensive Application Support: Provided extensive Quorum application support, acting as super users throughout the engagement to ensure smooth transitions and minimal disruptions.
- Project Management: Overseeing the entire conversion effort acquisition project, serving as both the project manager and the liaison between the client and Quorum
Opportune conducted a comprehensive analysis of all upstream assets involved in a recent acquisition and developed a tailored integration plan to transition legacy data from a dated system to a modern ERP platform.

Opportune played a crucial role in integrating the newly acquired assets, helping the client significantly improve the speed and quality of their integration process. Our expertise saved both time and money, accelerating the client's ability to realize the benefits and true value of the acquisition.
