The Challenge

Schlumberger, renowned as the world's preeminent provider of technology for the global energy industry, faced several digital challenges in an ambitious project to revamp their online presence. Project delays were being experienceed relating to a variety of hurdles including complex system integrations with Sitecore, Ucommerce, their Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle andcomplex user flows. Additionally an inexperienced outsourced development partner possessed skills gaps that needed coaching and mentoring to ensure that they could complete and deliver a quality product.

Strategic Intervention by TSD

In their quest for a solution, Schlumberger enlisted TSD, drawn by their robust track record in e-commerce and deep expertise in Ucommerce technologies. TSD's role extended beyond mere consultancy; we were entrusted with the technical governance of the project.

The educational support TSD provided uplifted the capabilities of the offshore development team, turning them into a more effective unit capable of sustaining future developments and enhancements.
