Case Study: Gazprom Neft achieves a data-driven transformation with Qlik

Gazprom Neft - Customer Case Study

Gazprom Neft Group, one of Russia’s top three oil producers with over 50,000 employees and operations in regions including South America and Africa, needed to scale analytics and embed a data-driven culture across a large, diverse organization. When Alexander Ratanov joined as BI Head in 2013 the BI function was tiny, faced server and resource constraints, and had to overcome change-management challenges despite strong executive support.

The company built a Qlik-based BI platform, grew the team to 100+ specialists, established data governance (including a single dictionary), partnered with universities, and launched internal training and certification that produced 250 champions. The approach delivered standardized, interoperable analytics, executive-to-frontline dashboards, and a lasting cultural shift toward data-driven decision making.
