CLIENTS AND CASE STUDIES

Birmingham City Council In January 2005, Birmingham City Council completed a major 3-year project to improve their Housing Management Systems. The project involved replacing an in-house mainframe system with Sx3Housing, improving services to the City’s 80,000 tenants and leaseholders. The project was implemented as a ‘single delivery’, with all the main areas going ‘live’ at the same time. Led by David Hart, Birmingham’s project was probably the UK’s largest and most complex Housing IT implementation.

"David Hart provided the project management and leadership skills that enabled us to implement our Sx3Housing system on time and within budget." Nigel Christie, General Manager, Birmingham City Housing Department.

Home Group Limited In March 2005, Edroy and Hart were asked to assist Home Group limited, following the departure of their in-house Project Manager just 8 months before the planned implementation date for their new Housing and Financial systems. Edroy and Hart provided project management, project office and project support services to Home Group, working with their staff to successfully implement the IBS OpenHousing and OpenAccounts systems across Home Housing Association, Warden Housing and the Group Centre.

"The project has been a great success - we went 'live' with our Housing and Finance systems on time and our staff are very pleased with the new way of working.  We were impressed with the project management and support provided by Edroy and Hart.  They are a very 'hands-on' consultancy, really getting involved with us, and they provided the experience and expertise we needed to ensure a successful implementation." Alison Hadden, Director of Housing Operations, Home Group Limited.

Shepway District Council Shepway District Council have designed and implemented a standard approach to managing projects across the organisation. Jane Royden worked with Shepway to develop a tailored method, which was both pragmatic and based on best practice.
	"Jane Royden helped us to design a practical set of tools and templates, and delivered interactive workshops focusing on the essentials for successful projects. Our staff found the workshops really useful and were encouraged and reassured by Jane's supportive and clear approach." Wendy Head, Strategic HR Manager, Shepway District Council.
