Our client is a FTSE 250 company and a 50+ year-old business, with over 4,000 employees and a client base spanning the UK, Europe, and North America.
What were the challenges?
A Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) implementation, carried out prior to Panamoure’s engagement, was struggling with a period of post-implementation instability
Finance systems team were spread across supporting BAU activities as well as continuous improvements to the system
Absence of proper root cause analysis to drive down issues & ticket count
SLAs for change were consistently being missed, increasing business frustration
Over reliance on contractors who had no long-term commitment
So, what did we do?
Panamoure provided a managed service that transferred the day-to-day related management responsibility for delivering (F&O) change
A dedicated and skilled captive team of five Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O techno-functional consultants and one delivery manager were specifically hired to provide:
Provision of the second line support for systems
Review and maintenance of user requests and system changes
Review and resolution of critical finance operations workflow & interface errors
Daily triage of BAU requests, assignment to SMEs to execute within agreed SLA response and resolution levels
Full business and IT stakeholder management, including recommendation of system solutions and improvements
Results
Our managed service directly improved the effectiveness and efficiency of end-to-end F&O operations.
Within the first 60 days of operation, the Panamoure team closed out 67% of the ticket backlog, supporting 71% of F&O business processes
95% of SLA levels achieved – ensuring smooth business operations and a happy user base
Enhanced multi-time zone coverage ensured – 14 hours coverage, not standard 8 hours
Annual savings of 61% (£475k) achieved over the normal UK hiring of contractors
Freed up client’s existing resources to focus on strategic initiatives instead of BAU
Improved knowledge retention through the continuous documentation of Standard Operating Procedures, logged in to a complimentary dedicated and bespoke Panamoure Learning Management System (LMS) for the client
Our industry expertise and coverage of the broader technology stack meant our client also used us as a one-stop-shop for their other technology queries/requirements
