Case Study: Buckeye Partners achieves real-time continuous planning and faster budgeting with Hubble

Hubble Powers Financial Planning for Oil and Gas Leader

Buckeye Partners, L.P., a midstream oil and gas company with roughly $5 billion in revenue, struggled with slow, error-prone budgeting and forecasting. Their finance team relied on Cognos and manual exports from JD Edwards, creating data disconnects, long delays (systems updated only a few times a day), heavy dependence on offsite IT contractors, and limited ability to respond to ad hoc C-suite requests or period-end demands.

Deploying Hubble delivered direct JDE integration, an intuitive, user-friendly interface, and rapid implementation that eliminated IT bottlenecks. The team moved from annual, time-consuming processes to continuous rolling planning with one-click ERP uploads, workflow approvals, automatic alerts, and faster cycle times (minutes or days versus weeks or months), providing real-time visibility into P&Ls, better forecasting, and far more responsive financial management.
