Case Study: Anadarko boosts sourcing agility and launches 90 RFPs in 2 months with Scout RFP

Anadarko, Ahead of the Curve with Scout

Anadarko, a Houston-based independent oil and gas exploration and production company with nearly 5,000 employees and operations across the globe, faced heightened market volatility that required an agile, transparent sourcing process. Its decentralized sourcing team was relying on manual tools—emails, spreadsheets and Word documents—which hindered coordination with engineering, finance and operations and limited the company’s ability to react quickly to changing market conditions.

Anadarko piloted and then rolled out Scout’s cloud-based strategic sourcing platform, finding it lightweight, intuitive and low-overhead; adoption grew from four pilot users to dozens company-wide. Within two months the team launched 90 RFPs and achieved measurable gains in strategic insight, cross-functional collaboration, visibility, and process efficiency through features like templates, event duplication, milestones and team chat.
