“Effectus provided important technical expertise and advice to enhance our tender requirements in a manner that ensured a great outcome”

Massey University

Case Study: Massey University

Expertise and external validation for HRIS selection

Massey University needed to replace an end of life

Human Resources Information System (HRIS) and

Payroll system.

Such a critical system selection required specialist

expertise and external validation, as an essential

component of due diligence by the University.

A system and vendor was selected through an extremely thorough and rigorous process utilising Effectus' industry experience and leveraging global benchmarking tools.

Learn about the following:

Clarity on requirements

Independent advice

Thorough rigorous process

Case Study: Invercargill Airport

Applying Business Analysis to Resolve a Cultural Problem

Invercargill Airport needed to address a culture problem. Classic symptoms such as staff turn-over, motivation, & career progression uncertainty, seemed evident but not conclusive. Effectus offered to conduct a “cultural analysis” study and document findings in a clear & concise manner for the Senior Leadership Team.

Similar to business analysis, this initiative used a structured approach, to effectively capture what is really happening in the business, so the underlying causes could be addressed.

Culture improved

Highly engaged team

Nominated for awards

Case Study: Fulton Hogan

HR System Selection

Fulton Hogan had many disparate People and HR

applications and processes that resulted in a lack of clarity of workforce information across the business covering three countries and 8000+ people.

They wanted a ‘step change’ that significantly raised organisational capability, supported scalability for future growth, implemented best-practice HR processes.

The Effectus approach was phased to first get Fulton

Hogan ready to go to market, then to support them in

selecting an HCM solution and vendor that was the best fit for their needs.

Case Study: Argus Group

Managing the risk of merging ERP systems and restructuring companies

Argus Group restructured their businesses and

consolidated to one ERP system. This included splitting one company into four, replacing two systems with one, sale of original company into the new structure, and the acquisition of assets from a new company which was turning off their ERP system.

A project merging computer systems typically involves

high levels of investment and risk. Argus needed

specialist help and were referred to Effectus

Case Study: Parliamentary Services

Enabling holistic thinking for future capabilities

Parliamentary Services had a complex business with tailored services and a self proclaimed complex ICT operational environment.

Case Study: Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BoP RC)

Unlocking Potential through an Information Management Strategy

The BoP RC required an Information Management plan that aligned with their business strategy, but also supported their long-term plan.

Leveraging Effectus’ experience with local government, and our structured governance framework, enabled fast results and heightened awareness within the BoP RC around the value of their data and information.
