• Scalability of the W Energy Software platform to meet Laredo Petroleum’s current needs and match operational complexity at any scale, setting the producer up to achieve its growth objectives.
• W Energy Software’s category-leading upstream solutions, superior service, and reputation for partnering with clients to ensure success made it the clear choice over legacy software providers.
• Comprehensive, unified cloud-based ERP platform that shares a common and consistent user experience spanning financial, revenue accounting, and land workflows.
