Egress has many years of experience of these complex data projects and a proven toolkit which provides advanced monitoring, control and auditing.
The implementation included the migration of 1.5 million project accounting expenditure records, 750,000 payroll balances, 150,000 staff, customer and supplier records, plus many thousands of additional transactions.
The programme was successfully concluded, despite shortened timescales, with Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management and Payroll live in December 2022 and Enterprise Resource Planning and Supply Chain Management live in January 2023.
Natalie Reilly, Programme Director, Lancashire County Council, commented:
“The key criteria that really won [Egress] the tender process was their experience of delivering this service in other authorities, that was the key. We’re the fourth largest authority in the UK so I didn’t particularly want us to be Guinea pigs on the programme. On that basis, their ability to stick to timelines, their whole process and through the evaluation side, it just excelled.”
Russ Davey, Head of Project Delivery at Egress Group, commented:
“There is no doubt that this is one of the most complex Oracle Fusion implementations Egress Group has delivered to date. Despite some very challenging situations within this programme, it has been very successful. To be able to assure the running of vital systems, such as payroll at such a critical time of the year, demonstrates the dedication, skills and tenacity of our team.”
The Fusion programme is a significant investment in the council’s future and moving to a cloud-based system is seen as a key step along their digital transformation path, aiming to deliver improved services both internally and externally, in addition to providing efficiencies and cost savings.
