CASE STUDY 8

System Implementation



Over the years Paris and Parks have worked with many organisations from defining requirements through to the full implementation programme.

More recently this has included the implementation of a payroll system for a major retail company and its subsidiaries. A full review of requirements was undertaken and the ITT produced and sent to market leading suppliers. The responses were evaluated and following site meetings, reference site visits and more detailed discussions re requirements and functionality and services a partner was chosen.

Contract negotiations were managed as were the service level agreements for the IT service and system administration. Delivery of the system took place in July and the first payrolls were live in October with the final cut over before the end of the tax year.

During the implementation Paris and Parks provided project director support and project management support in the latter stages. In addition to this the payroll team and other key stakeholders were trained on how to use the system. The project team were also supporting the outgoing system and also decommissioned the system following archiving the relevant data.

The project was delivered under budget and on time.

During the life of the system Paris and Parks managed the contract and all system and IT upgrades.
