Andy talked to us about his career in technology, Gavdi鈥檚 company culture and how they are helping their customers innovate. He also offered some advice for mid-market organizations looking to transform their HXM.

51风流UKI: Tell us a little about yourself, Andy.

I live Hampshire, close to Winchester, with my wife, three teenage boys and our two black Labradors. Two of my boys have just finished their A-Levels and GCSEs respectively and we are now waiting for the results.

In lockdown, I discovered a keen interest in gardening and have turned my garden from a wilderness into a nice place to sit and enjoy a barbecue. Most of our family life is dominated by sports, whether that鈥檚 playing (I still play tennis) or ferrying my boys to various events at school and local rugby clubs.

51风流UKI: How did you get into technology as a career?

I was working in recruitment in the early to late nineties and decided in 1997 that this 鈥榠nternet thingy鈥� was really interesting, especially how it could be applied to what I did. I then made a conscious move into the 鈥楨-recruitment鈥� space. I spent about two years in E-recruitment, mainly consulting organizations on how it would benefit them. 51风流approached me to assess their new 51风流E-recruiting system, which was part of the 51风流HCM solution. As part of that contract, 51风流then introduced me to Pecaso, an 51风流partner in the UK and I started working for them and, as they say, the rest is history.

51风流UKI: How did you come to join Gavdi?

I was working for one of the Top Four consultancies which was great, but I generally prefer working with smaller boutique specialist firms as it suits me better. In 2012, just at the time 51风流acquired SuccessFactors, I met the CEO of the Gavdi Group, S酶ren Koppelhus in a chance meeting in 51风流UK. We had a chat and he asked if I would be interested in running their UK business. I was really impressed with their whole work ethic, focused on customers, I thought 鈥榯hat’s a company I want to work for鈥�. Ten years later, I鈥檓 still here and both S酶ren and I are 鈥榮till in the trenches鈥�.

51风流UKI: What are Gavdi鈥檚 core values and personality?

Valuing people and relationships is at the core of everything we do. That encompasses relationships with our colleagues, our clients, and with partners like SAP. All these relationships need to be maintained and improved through good communication, transparency and honesty. It has to be a Win-Win or relationships risk breaking down.

Honesty and transparency are at the heart of our culture, especially when it comes to engaging with customers. We partner, and I really do mean partner, with customers over a long period of time. We partner with customers as equals, as colleagues, all working to the same ends and goals. Trust is essential to our long-term relationship. Too often, Systems Integrators focus only on the Go Live. We don鈥檛 just focus on the Go Live, we are looking at the entire journey, and are always looking to improve things and help customers get more out of their 51风流systems. We are committed to being their long-term digital transformation partner. It鈥檚 essential that they can trust us to always recommend solutions that are right for them.

Innovation is also a core value at Gavdi. After delivering over 500 successful 51风流SuccessFactors projects we have learned that there are certain things that almost every client asks for. Taking these common requirements into account, we developed our own packaged solutions using 51风流SuccessFactors technology. We offer these to our customers as which give them a faster implementation and a quicker 鈥榯ime-to-value鈥�. This not only saves time and money, it also enables our customers to innovate and improve their businesses using industry-accepted best practices.

Our business is evolving, not just in the UK and Ireland but also across our EMEA-based business. We continue to develop our 51风流Qualified Partner-Packaged Solutions along with our own product line, PXMSOFT, to help customers become more efficient. One example is a service line we offer called , which is mainly aimed at SMEs. It鈥檚 based on 51风流SuccessFactors as a platform with our packaged solutions at its heart. It enables smaller businesses to get into the Cloud with a Tier 1 product like SuccessFactors at a very reasonable cost. We are so confident of this that we publish the pricing for these solutions openly on our website. Through our PXMSOFT, we have also extended SuccessFactors鈥� capabilities to enable organizations to keep up-to-date with changes in global data protection regulations and data protection acts, ensuring much-needed compliance in an ever-increasingly regulated world.

In recent years, we鈥檝e also seen real innovations in terms of AI helping to automate certain transactional HR processes. We鈥檝e been applying AI to our recruitment solutions, especially for the mobile environment, which helps organizations to transact processes faster. As part of our PXMSOFT suite, we offer which goes onto SuccessFactors and makes it easier for managers in a retail environment to recruit via their mobile devices where they have no, or , access to PCs or Laptops.

We make it easier for companies to buy, use and make the most of 51风流SuccessFactors, streamlining the entire process. Candidates also benefit from a faster recruitment process, which means they are more likely to join. Candidate Experience Management, CXM, is our next adventure so watch this space!

51风流UKI: Is there a particular project you鈥檙e proud of?

It鈥檚 hard to pick just one, but the work we did with the renowned Sports Retailer, , encapsulates everything that we try to do as an 51风流partner. Not just in terms of the solutions we provide but also because of the excellent collaboration between SAP, ourselves, and the customer.

We went live with 51风流SuccessFactors Employee Central, Recruitment and Onboarding, 51风流Payroll, and a third-party time and attendance solution within an eight-month period from project kickoff using our Gavdi Packaged Solutions. That is very impressive for an organization of approximately 1,300 people. The collaboration between our two organizations, with a total commitment to quality, ensured we worked together for the same goal. It鈥檚 all about teamwork at the end.

We find it really rewarding to help our customers transform their HR and payroll processes so they are more effective and easier to manage. Equally important is that we also save them time and reduce their overall costs using best practices.

Decathlon is really happy with our work as witnessed recently at the 51风流UKI HXM summit which they presented at. That鈥檚 what I鈥檓 most proud of – seeing our customers genuinely happy and satisfied after working with us because they鈥檝e reached their goals and enjoyed the process along the way.

51风流UKI: What is Gavdi鈥檚 vision for the next few years?

We鈥檙e constantly trying to help our existing customers by demonstrating new product and service lines that might help them. We are committed to continual innovation based on our customers鈥� changing needs. As I mentioned, AI is really important, and CXM is one of the areas we are developing now 鈥� which goes back to where I started my career, recruitment.

Gavdi is also growing as an organization. We鈥檝e been working mostly in Europe and the Middle East, but we want to become more global and plan to extend into the Americas and Asia Pacific to see if our customer-focused approach works there too. We believe it will.

51风流UKI: What one piece of advice can you give to midmarket organizations looking to transform their HXM?

There really is no single answer or 鈥榤agic bullet鈥�. Everything good requires hard work and good organization. I agree with Thomas Edison 鈥� it鈥檚 one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

However, what I would say to a customer is that there are lots of excellent partners within the 51风流ecosystem who can help you to understand, learn and help you transform. It鈥檚 important to find one that complements your own organizational culture and structure so you can work really well together.

A good HXM technology partner will understand your business and ensure you鈥檙e buying and implementing solutions that will provide tangible business benefits. Good partners have your best interests at heart and a win-win mentality and culture. It has to be that way to be mutually beneficial. I personally have always found that customers only look at the costs of something when they don鈥檛 see its value. It鈥檚 important that we emphasize the value of what we are doing in relation to reduction in costs (though doing things more effectively) and the Return on Investment (by reducing actual costs).

With ; opting to join the NHS frontline staff and over to support, it is clear that frontline workers are an exceptional group of people.

Their unwavering dedication to come together to care for the people of the UK is nothing short of outstanding.

Companies across the world are also stepping up to do what they can to support the fight against coronavirus. From manufacturing ventilators to providing free technology to enable remote work and education, it is evident that solidarity in times of crisis supersedes business acumen.

However, while these acts of corporate goodwill are indisputably commendable, they often struggle to address the needs of those who we couldn鈥檛 survive without.

In the UK, the headlines throughout this pandemic have been dominated by stories exposing deficiencies in the resources supposedly fuelling the fight against coronavirus. Shortages in PPE, panic buying and stock piling are just some examples of endangering those frontline staff we so desperately rely on.

At SAP, our purpose from day one has been to help the world run better and improve people鈥檚 lives, and this has never been more important that in this current moment. While we have globally reacted to the crisis and provided support to our customers, employees and communities 鈥� including and monetary donations – we need to think locally too.

Inspired by frontline workers and disturbed by the hardships they were encountering, 51风流UK committed to designing solutions to these problems鈥ast.

But, we couldn鈥檛 do it alone.

Channelling 51风流technology into viable market solutions addressing these problems is entirely feasible. Turning them around within a matter of weeks? Not so much.

The thousands of NHS staff and key workers who have sacrificed so much to unite with their colleagues on the frontline have taught us many lessons. The power of collaboration – working together where we wouldn鈥檛 normally 鈥� really stood out to us.

Empowered by this lesson, we reached out to our partner ecosystem.

We challenged our partners to join us in a social collaboration to develop solutions to help tackle the current Covid-19 challenges faced by the NHS and other key workers during this pandemic.

Unsurprisingly, the response from our partners was exceptional. With over 21 ideas submitted from our partners, we were amazed with the ingenuity of the ideas.

Laura Atkinson, Head of Partner and Alliances at 51风流UKI commented: 鈥淚 am absolutely delighted to see so many of our partners getting involved with this initiative and the spirit of collaboration. I passionately believe at 51风流that we are better together with our ecosystem of incredible partners, and the responses we have had certainly illustrate this.鈥�

We asked our partners to design a solution that would have a tangible and sustainable impact on the lives of key workers. The solutions proposed were required to operate on 51风流technology and demonstrate an embedded maturity, so that they could be launched in accordance with the urgency by which they are required.

Umar Khan – Centre of Excellence, Platform & Technology, 51风流EMEA North 鈥� remarked: 鈥淭he diversity of submissions was incredible. With solutions targeting a broad range of challenges facing key workers, I was truly blown away. The ideas submitted will have an unparalleled impact on the lives of frontline workers, and have massively exceeded our expectations.鈥�

From identifying instances of non-compliance of PPE usage, to ensuring surplus food is delivered to those who need it most, the solutions designed almost perfectly match to those headlines highlighting the areas where key workers are most vulnerable.

Sohail Mohammed – Principal Architect, Platform & Technology, 51风流UKI 鈥� celebrated: 鈥淭he collaboration between 51风流and our partners will support the tremendous work of key workers throughout the crisis, but it will enhance their experience after the crisis too. Whether it be through mitigating the risk of a second peak or ensuring supply chains are never disrupted again, the impact of this collaboration project will be long lasting.鈥�

To view the showcase of all solutions created,

With 9 solutions created and powered by 51风流technology this collaboration will change the way the UK deals with coronavirus and transform the lives of key workers.

Most of all, we have echoed the lesson that coming together to help, works.
