ERP implementation with Augean

Written by Gareth Murphy | Mar 17, 2020 12:57:00 PM

Augean PLC is the UK’s leading specialist waste business, working in the hazardous wastes, radioactive waste and oil and gas sectors. With a track record of year on year increases in profitability, in 2016 its revenue increased by 25 per cent to £76m.

“The project took place under challenging conditions…despite this the project was delivered on time, on budget, and on spec. It’s not often you hear that…”

Augean outgrows their existing finance platform

The company’s continued strong performance and growing sales pipeline meant the business was outgrowing its financial systems platform. Augean had selected a supplier and a system and needed additional expertise in IT project management to deliver it within the six-month timeframe.

A challenging project delivered on time, on budget and on spec

Fluid provided ‘client side’ advice and project management of the new Enterprise Resource Planning implementation. We managed the third party ERP systems implementer / integrator, outsourced IT service provider, and internal client resources to deliver the project on budget and on time.

“The project took place under challenging conditions; a timetable the supplier thought ambitious, a finance team under transition, consolidation of multiple systems and a geographically disparate set of stakeholders. Despite this, the project was delivered on time, on budget and on spec. It’s not often you hear that in relation to a system implementation and Gareth’s skill and focus in making this happen was considerable.”

Result

The new ERP was integrated with legacy systems and successfully implemented on budget and within the original timeframe.
