Case Study: US Energy Infrastructure Company achieves comprehensive vendor-risk coverage and significant audit time savings with Arbutus Software

US Energy Infrastructure Company - Customer Case Study

US Energy Infrastructure Company, a long-standing US energy infrastructure company with $6B+ in revenues, faced enterprise-wide vendor risk across 70,000+ third parties—including fraud, data breaches, contract breaches and supply chain disruption—creating financial and reputational exposure. After finding limitations with its previous provider, the Internal Audit team selected Arbutus Software’s Arbutus Analyzer Server to provide a centralized, high-performance analytics platform for vendor risk management.

Arbutus Software implemented a scheduled suite of 10 analytics running on its multi-threaded Arbutus Analyzer Server to read 70,000+ vendor records, produce risk assessment scorecards, spend and trend analysis, and exception reports for remediation. The deployment eliminated sampling risk by enabling full-population testing, delivered significant time savings, handed duplicate-payment testing to Accounts Payable, and allowed the IA team to shift from transactional work to higher-value strategic analysis.
