BP, a global energy leader, partnered with Curtis Consulting to create the Unified Database Setup and Management System (UDBSL)—a user-centered application designed to streamline database creation and management across business units while reducing reliance on corporate IT and eliminating process delays.

The Challenge

BP needed a faster, more scalable way for business units to set up and manage databases without constant corporate IT involvement—while still ensuring a consistent, easy-to-navigate experience across the organization.

Our Approach

We worked side-by-side with BP teams to design UDBSL around how users actually operate—unifying consoles through contextual search, enabling self-service database creation by business units, and introducing intuitive 3D visual elements to make complex data interactions easier to understand and manage.

The Solution

UDBSL delivered a simplified, iteratively refined experience that scales across BP’s business units—combining stakeholder and end-user insights with continuous feedback loops to strengthen and support consistent database setup and management across diverse operational contexts.

Conclusion

BP and Curtis Consulting successfully delivered a scalable, intuitive, and user-friendly solution that revolutionized database setup and management processes, paving the way for enhanced operational efficiency and agility.
