Malcolm Brown Director of IS Home Group

Fujitsu implements a new Oracle ERP platform for 4,000+ Home Group employees making processes faster and more efficient, saving around £8.5m per year.

Customer

Home Group, a social enterprise and charity with a turnover of over £350m, is one of the UK’s largest providers of high quality housing and integrated housing, as well as health and social care. It aims to build homes, independence and aspirations through the provision of 55,000 properties. The company also works with almost 30,000 vulnerable people through 500+ supported housing, justice and health services.

Challenge

When an audit uncovered 145 individual systems underpinning Home Group, the organisation knew there must be a more efficient way of working. It needed to find an application partner to deploy a new integrated ERP platform.

Solution

Over the course of 18 months, Fujitsu designed and implemented a new Oracle ERP platform covering finance, HR, procurement and case management for 4,000+ users. It also developed a mobile app to enable employees to access data in real-time regardless of location.
