The benefits
The approach
Technicus worked closely with PageGroup to understand its existing challenges and gain business insights from its data. As a result, we were able to provide information on how data was being used and managed, which allowed us to identify and focus on the most relevant and valuable data.
We took full ownership of all data-related aspects of the program, including:
- Establishing data governance principles and practices.
- Assurance of data model development by the system integrator.
- Migration of data from the legacy systems.
- Building out an automated data lifecycle programme.
A vital aspect of the project’s success was engaging with relevant markets to establish consistent data management practices in preparation for the migration. This proved equally essential to building credibility and driving user adoption.
We organised and facilitated workshops with data champions from each market to detail the migration approach, outline the cleansing required and track project progress. Working with PageGroup’s country leadership, we helped position the cleansing as a business opportunity rather than an expense, which was reflected in improved business performance after the go-live date.
Our team also helped refine PageGroup’s data retention approach to ensure compliance with data protection regulations, including the GDPR and relevant policies in China and Latin America.
We established data life cycles for customer and recruitment data, with the appropriate data management practices to drive quality and trust in the data. Life cycles and processes were then automated where possible to realise operational efficiencies and drive adoption.
Our streamlined migration processes ensured the successful loading of millions of data records, resulting in the simultaneous migration of multiple markets with zero downtime and accelerating PageGroup’s global rollout.
By living up to our commitment to ensuring seamless project delivery, we reduced deployment timings and returned a significant cost saving for our client.
“The Technicus team have brought an extra dimension to data migration. They have really helped our business understand the why and the how, which means our data quality opportunity has been massively advanced.
‘This has been coupled with the highest levels of professionalism, integrity and commitment to delivery, creating an exceptionally valuable partnership.”
