Enterprise Resource Management for a Building Company One of the largest residential builders in the United States wanted to grow rapidly through acquisitions. As a result, their managers were often faced with the requirement of assimilating new companies into their financial management, human capital and payroll structures. Many of their larger acquired companies continued to manage their own HR/Payroll systems, even while financial reporting was consolidated. This decentralized approach resulted in a range of issues, from redundancy of functions to inconsistent levels of service throughout the organization. Lotus Valley Solutions employed a team of experts who had a deep understanding of the business functions addressed by the Human Capital Management (HCM) Applications, both as they were performed currently and under the best-practice models that PeopleSoft embraces. After careful analysis of each of the processes, our technical personnel, who are experienced Business Process Re-engineering consultants, provided a mixed solution that was designed and implemented for a Shared Services environment. Designing gas infrastructure As the programme of market deregulation sweeps across Europe, a major gas company in Southern Europe was losing market share and revenue. In order to prosper in this changed environment, the company had to overcome a number of strategic challenges. In response to statutory direction, it was required to design and publish access conditions and tariffs to allow third parties to transport gas through its pipelines, thereby facilitating competition in gas supply. Lotus Valley Solutions acted as business advisers. The successful partnership has allowed the gas company to design and develop tariffs and access conditions, supported by the necessary systems and processes. Lotus Valley Solutions successfully implemented all of these within agreed targets.
