Previous methods used did not provide clear visibility of team members or support proactive capacity planning or availability. Reporting was very reactive, and the data that was being collected did not measure productivity or utilisation.

Workware from ActiveOps was selected for two reasons. Firstly, it was deemed the most flexible solution to cater to a wide range of operations teams, and secondly, due to the willingness of the ActiveOps implementation team to deliver a tailored programme.

The ability to link to existing systems without the need to replace or implement an alternative BPM solution was also considered a major advantage of Workware.

Large Quotations“One of the main benefits of self implementation was having someone from within our business running the project. Having insight into the culture made it easier to provision for challenges in advance, and we were able to easily build rapport with stakeholders. Given the solutions from ActiveOps revolve around a different way of doing things, there will always be pockets of resistance. Having someone from within the organisation helping facilitate the change process meant those resistant to change felt less threatened as they were brought through the process by someone within the organisation that understood the culture familiar to them.”
