Case Study: Arabian Drilling Company achieves 100% HR digitalization and 95% faster overtime processing with SAP SuccessFactors

How Do You Motivate Employees to Dig Deeper

Arabian Drilling Company (ADC), a regional leader in oil and gas drilling services with 3,435 employees and more than 32 rigs, struggled with disparate, paper-based HR processes that hampered tracking of hours, overtime, and expenses across its 24/7 operations. To modernize HR, improve workforce visibility, and boost employee engagement, ADC partnered with SAP SuccessFactors (supported by SAP Digital Business Services and SAP Enterprise Support) under Project Al-Fajr to consolidate personnel data and streamline HR workflows.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a suite of solutions—including Employee Central, Compensation, Onboarding, Performance & Goals, and Recruiting—creating a single system of record and automated end-to-end workflows. The deployment delivered 100% digitalization of previously manual processes, reduced overtime and expense processing time by 95%, rolled out across more than 30 locations, improved HR efficiency and employee satisfaction, and helped ADC earn Saudi Aramco recognition for employee recognition and training.
