Higher Education Success Story - Heriot Watt
Rapidly sourcing talent to deliver a major transformation programme.
Heriot Watt University embarked on a complex ERP replacement in early 2023 and faced challenges with their solution integrator as the programme advanced.
Objectives
Heriot Watt University initiated a critical ERP replacement programme in early 2023, aiming for a seamless transition and enhancement of their enterprise systems.
Challenges
During the programme, the university faced issues with the initial solution integrator which hindered the progress of the ERP implementation. In addition, financial constraints were hindering their ability to attract the talent they needed.
Solution
Heriot Watt University partnered with Harvey Nash for a project solution, securing six skilled contractors quickly and under budget, improving support for their ERP programme with efficient coordination and recruitment.
Throughout our ERP transformation, Harvey Nash’s agility in rabidly sourcing quality talent within our financial constraint has been the cornerstone of our programme’s success, providing a clear path forward.
