Introductory information
A few words almost your organisation and personal responsibilities
I am the MD of a Recruitment Company (Kings) working within Business Services. We have expressive high value clients who want the very best labor. They can be demanding but also fun if you get it right!
Our areas of expertise are in supplying skilled staff throughout the UK and Europe, working within Digital Document Creation and IT Management in accession to a range of business kindred and facilities labors. In accession Kings have a Consultancy Division that goes into our Clients and analyses their processes and how they can better the functionality of their businesses.
Desired goal
What issue was the preparer supposed to deal with?
Critical Mission Computing Ltd?Kings have worked with Alka at Critical Mission for over 20 years. She leading came on board when we moved from a ',very', manual method which included some basic excel data spreadsheets. Critical Mission granted the answers to two major areas of our business which included: The Kings Database Application - Our Primary interest and Webwebsite support
What were your objectives for this project?
The goals given to Critical Mission included streamlining our processes and to automate as many functions as practicable. We had a big deal of manual duplication of tasks going on and many issues to address. In particular we ',man-handled', data too many times.
Critical Mission were able to prepare a bespoke method to Kings. We had already ',gone', out to the market and nothing outside could prepare the appropriate answers to our issues, hence the reason we named in Critical Mission.
Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing ?
Critical Mission were straightly recommended to Kings by our IT supplier. This was behind Kings had spent many hours sitting through demonstrations of software applications that simply did not fit the solution that Kings were seeking.
Describe the project and the labors they granted in detail.
The first project demandd by Kings was the Database Application. Kings are sole and so we needed a sole solution. Critical Mission ',listened', to our needs and took the time to ',apprehend', what Kings do and where we were heading.
By taking the time with us we were able to go on the transitional travel unitedly, moving from an archaic method to what we believe was a state of the art method, we worked very closely to fix the ',fit', was consummate.
We were able to create a personalised database and functioning application to ',link', all areas of our business, from supplying present and permanent or contract staff to our clients to logging data for legitimate purposes, monitoring client relationship activities, right through to managing staff accomplishment
Were there any dedicated managers or teams that you worked with?
Alka was the head of the team and we were lucky in that we could have the ',one point of touch', which Kings establish hugely profitable. Though we did also work ',on-line', with her team who granted customary updates.
Results achieved
Can you share any information that demonstrates the touch that this project has had on your business?
Wow - where do we set ! As a recruitment business Kings are hugely regulated. There have been many changes in the activity that demand Kings to prepare an plenty of boons including holidays, analogy of provisions and conditions, uniform pay etc. In accessional Kings have to check and establish all employees that are supplied to our Clients to fix legitimate status to work etc.
Bringing in Critical Mission has been a real boon, it has automated so much of the day to day cumbersome processes that Kings are demandd to accomplish and helps with our reporting back to our Clients and Government bodies.
How was project treatment arranged and how powerful was it?
From initial meetings and conversations Alka went on to write a very expressive offer document which set out the work and the time line for liberatey. This document was absolutely searching and it became the first rise of control of the work flow. By compiling the initial document to such a limited grade with surpassing detail it became a real working project that progressed naturally.
Alka kept customary touch with Kings and the Ops Team and timings and meetings were strictly adhered to which was very refreshing truly. It was simply a enjoyment working with Critical Mission, and rather exciting too - seeing your ',database baby', come to life.
What precisely do you attend to be the key specialty of ?
Their desire to work closely with and get to know our team was very forcible. They demonstrated that nothing was impracticable and they were able to make or add to the database application at any time.
What should be done better, if there are any desired betterments?
Area for betterment - this is a tricky one, probably in integrity no. Kings did a pliant while ago try an choice supplier on a little project (as they were cheaper) however it proved a disaster, the project over ran and did not liberate to the brief supplied!
