Gazprom avtomatizatsiya selected 1C for business process automation of treasury
In December, 2016 within the complex project of reengineering, a regulation and automation of key business processes in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya company system implementation of treasury is complete.
This complex project is implemented according to the IT strategy of society developed and accepted in 2014.
Functional project scope includes business processes:
- managing business processes (management of instructions, budgeting, treasury);
- production business processes (management of tenders, projects, own production, logistics);
- the supporting business processes (management of NSI, a contracted work, labor resources, claims, regulated accounting).
Automation of treasury took place in two stages. In 2014 approval of payments was transferred to an electronic form, and the existing business process is standardized. In 2016 business process optimization is performed and reliability of a system is increased. As a result:
- the average time of approval of the request for a funds expenditure (ZDRS) is reduced three times – till 17 o'clock (astronomical);
- cases of incorrect payment in connection with irrelevant details, incorrect data on settlement, revocation of license of bank are completely excluded;
- transition to paperless document handling allowed to save significantly time of users, "circulations on offices" are excluded;
- cases of delay of payments are excluded;
- the financial management has exact and timely information on cash flow.
For automation of business process the multicomponent information system consisting of the close integrated information bases is constructed:
- 1C: Accounting is source of data on the actual settlement;
- A corporate information managing system – the main front-end a system for 99% of users;
- 1C: Document Flow is Business Process Management Suite. The application is used only as back-end;
- BIT. Finance – the consolidated system of creation of an income and expense budget and BDDS and also formation of limits of payments.
Functionality of multicomponent system:
1. Autoformation of ZDRS according to payment terms and the come business events.
2. Manual formation of ZRDS, in particular, on business activities.
3. Electronic approval of ZRDS according to the configured routes and an organization structure.
4. Autocontrol of settlement, limits, relevance of bank details, licenses of bank.
5. Formation of the payment schedule.
The change history is presented in the following table:
№ | Transaction/indicator | Was before automation | After Stage 1 (2014) | After Stage 2 (2016) |
1 | Preparation of ZRDS | in paper form | electronically | Electronically |
2 | Approval of ZRDS | In paper form, "legs" | electronically | electronically |
3 | Formation of the register on payment | in paper form | electronically | Electronically |
4 | Control of settlement | Manually by data in files or base of regulated accounting | automatically | automatically |
5 | Control of limits | In the manual mode | In the manual mode | Automatically |
6 | Control of the license of bank | Was not carried out | Not carried out | Automatically |
7 | Payments, responsible for initiation | Production or economic division | Production or economic division | Automatic initiation under the terms of payment and to business events |
8 | Number of ZRDS | ~ 5500 | ~ 6000 | ~ 7500 (+25%) |
9 | Average time of approval (astronomical clock) | ~ 60 | 42 | 17 |
Automation of treasury allowed to minimize "a human factor" at approval of ZRDS. The risk of implementation of payments to partners in defiance of the payment procedure provided by agreements and also payment according to incorrect details is completely excluded that allows to organize more effectively interaction with partners and affiliated enterprises of society, – the deputy chief of financial and economic management of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya D.N. Kochetkov noted. |
A system itself keeps track of need of payment. At maturity – payment is initiated automatically. Our task – only to study the transfer advice of money, – the head of department of maintenance of implementation of objects of metrology of Management of information measuring systems and metrology V.S. Orlov emphasized. |
Deadlines forced us to work from "prototype" without accurate technical specifications, putting functionality into operation at once as it could bring benefit. In parallel we overcame resistance of users – imaginary errors of a system and "a lack of time" disappeared at once when together with users in an office put the analyst, – the project manager of automation of treasury E.R. Gafarov said. |
There is a replication of a system in subsidiaries, in particular, implementation is complete in Investgazavtomatika and Svyazgazavtomatika.

In Gazprom avtomatizatsiya the team of experts on 1C landed
Speaking at a conference of 1C on solutions for corporate clients in June, 2015, the project manager Gazprom avtomatizatsiya Evgeny Gafarov noted that, despite vast experience of implementing solutions of SAP in the companies of Gazprom, for own automation his company selected the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform. In Gazprom avtomatizatsiya the majority of the systems automating business processes including two key – a corporate management information system and "1C: Document Flow" works at its base. The last, according to Gafarov, performs the BPM functions in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya.
The manager of projects of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya told that works on the large-scale project of business process automation in his company began at the end of 2013. According to him, at the time of start of the project only two blocks of business processes were automated up to standard: regulated accounting and management of MTS.
Gafarov noted that business processes in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya subdivide into three classes: managing directors (management of instructions and finance), production (project management, competitive purchases, MTS and production management) and also supporting (management of a contract work, regulated accounting, claims activities, logistics). By the end of the project four blocks of business processes were up to standard automated already and on four blocks – the most basic functions are automated.
The reasons of the choice of 1C as the main platform for automation in the company Evgeny Gafarov explained TAdviser with the fact that, first, with replacement of the leadership of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya (in 2013 in the company the CEO was replaced and the top and management structure – a comment of TAdviser was updated), the new command with very good experience with products of 1C came to the company. After that in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya in addition employed also third-party specialists in 1C.
As of the middle of 2015, number of employees of practice of 1C for internal automation, according to Gafarov, makes about 15 people: these are analysts, developers, specialists of support. An essential part of this command is necessary on former employees of 1C Company: as passed into the company with replacement of the leadership, and employed later from outside. A former employee of 1C is also Evgeny Gafarov who also passed into Gazprom avtomatizatsiya together with the new management.
In addition to existence of strong internal examination on 1C an important factor for benefit of the choice of this platform the manager of projects of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya called an economic component: the company came to a conclusion that it has sufficient competences to automate business processes based on 1C cheaper and with required quality.
In a conversation with TAdviser Evgeny Gafarov also noted that examination on 1C in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya it is going to develop and use it, including, in projects for external customers.
