Dates November 1997 - June 1998

Length of Assignment

8 months

Project Budget

£7m

Project Organisation structure

A Project Board comprising the client sponsor and 5 client staff who had similar roles in facing the outsourced partner

 

Description of assignment:

This role required that the client's finance systems be millennium proofed. There were a number of approaches ranging from remediation through to outright replacement, with the attendant systems integration and migration issues.

 

The main project was to replace the existing client main Finance system. SAP was the preferred end system but there was doubt whether it could be fully implemented before the end of 1999. Therefore, it had been decided that an interim system (Tetra CS/3) would be implemented first and then SAP would follow.

 

The projects were being managed by an outsourced joint venture company and HCL's role was to safeguard the client's interests by monitoring progress against time and budget. HCL reported to the Head of Group Finance Operations and to the overall Millennium Project Board of the organisation.
