NHW Professionals
NHS Professionals achieved full agency status in April 2004 and are making significant investments to support the next phase of their development. One of the major investments has been to implement new financials and procurement processes enabled by Oracle e-business suite.

In May 2004, NHS Professionals appointed BT to provide a hosted applications solution across the NHSnet for all four regions across the UK. The new IT investment has also enabled the creation of a single national accounting centre based in Leeds.

BT appointed their trusted Oracle partner - Praktis Solutions - with their proven track record in the Health sector to deliver the business and IT solution enabled by Oracle e-business suite. Praktis Solutions working with the NHSP business team led by Ian Millar – Finance Director – have implemented a core set of finance processes supported by Oracle e-business suite.

NHSP are already experiencing cost savings as they reduce their dependency upon local NHS Trust solutions and they have plans to reduce debt management levels by 30% by mid 2005. Linking with their key customers– NHS Trusts – they are looking to utilise the BT SPINE and the hosted Oracle e-business application platform to enable further integration in the future.

Oracle UK are already making plans to establish NHSP as a key reference site in the Health sector.

About NHS Professionals

NHS Professionals is the national approach to managing and providing temporary staffing solutions to the NHS and one of a series of initiatives designed to strengthen and support the NHS workforce. The NHS Plan recognises that the biggest constraint the NHS faces today is the shortage of human resources - doctors, nurses, therapists, scientists, technicians, IT and support staff who keep the NHS going day in and day out.

The challenge is clear - the NHS must recruit and retain sufficient staff to improve the flexibility and accessibility of services in a cost-effective way. NHS Professionals will help achieve that aim by investing in NHS staff and reducing our reliance on commercial agencies. Staff who join NHS Professionals will have personal flexibility and control over the hours they work, as well as fair and supportive employment conditions that offer real job security and the confidence to build and develop their skills within the NHS.

Praktis Solutions provided consultants to build up the internal process team, provide Oracle training and support the Oracle e-business testing phase.

Telia

Telia is a large telecommunications company based in Sweden. Telia are currently executing the largest Oracle 11i implementation in Europe. The core modules in implementation are Financials and CRM. Praktis Solutions are working with Telia to build their support organisation and to define the transition management. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that in the production environment, Telia have a support organisation, infrastructure, processes and expertise to support and maintain the smooth running of their production systems as well as a smooth switch over from their legacy applications.

“The Praktis Solutions Model changed our project approach and allowed us to focus on what really makes ERP implementations a success – business users working with the business to build processes and ways of working that are ultimately owned by the business – and not an isolated team of project consultants.”

Stefan Rubensson - IT Director at Telia

Canon

“Our project to implement Oracle e-Business Suite is large in terms of scope and organisational change. We need the best Oracle applications expertise from consultants with a professional and pro-active approach. Praktis Solutions offered quality consultants who knew the application and had implemented it.”

“We found Praktis Solutions to have a quality approach and their consultants worked with us to define and build training material, interfacing with the core project team, providing additional expertise and input to the process."

Alison Bateman - Training Manager Canon ( Europe)
