"The portal is the key to the delivery for all of our new IT initiatives," adds Art Huffman, company CIO. "We have spent the last several years implementing ERP and data-capturing systems. We will spend the next several providing visibility into that information, analyzing, interpreting, reporting, and measuring it to drive our business. The portal will provide that customized and personalized platform for our employees, managers, customers and suppliers to interact with each other in a common environment, hiding our complex IT functions in the background."
Halliburton wins our 2003 Extended Enterprise Innovator Award for developing an extensive collaborative portal that relies on integrated ERP functions to serve customers, suppliers and employees. In its first year, the portal influenced $120 million in sales, according to customer surveys; improved corporate efficiencies to the tune of about $500,000 by enabling better access to technical documents; and led to reduced payment cycles.

Halliburton is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the oil and gas industries, employing more than 85,000 people in 100 countries. The company's extensive customer list includes giants such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Conoco, which turn to it for products and services running the gamut from drill bits to subsea engineering. With complexity marking the relationship between Halliburton and its customers, Lackey knew any broad customer-related project he undertook would need to be exceedingly thorough to be successful.
