He also offered some advice for mid-market organizations looking to transform their HXM.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> Tell us a little about yourself, Andy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s playing (I still play tennis) or ferrying my boys to various events at school and local rugby clubs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> How did you get into technology as a career?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was working in recruitment in the early to late nineties and decided in 1997 that this \u2018internet thingy\u2019 was really interesting, especially how it could be applied to what I did. I then made a conscious move into the \u2018E-recruitment\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> How did you come to join Gavdi?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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\u00f8ren 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 \u2018that&#8217;s a company I want to work for\u2019. Ten years later, I\u2019m still here and both S\u00f8ren and I are \u2018still in the trenches\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/>\n51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> What are Gavdi\u2019s core values and personality?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Valuing people and relationships<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honesty and transparency<\/strong> 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\u2019t 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\u2019s essential that they can trust us to always recommend solutions that are right for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation <\/strong>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 <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/uk\/partner\/find\/qualified-packaged-solutions\/finder.html\">SAP-Qualified Partner-Packaged Solutions<\/a><\/span> which give them a faster implementation and a quicker \u2018time-to-value\u2019. This not only saves time and money, it also enables our customers to innovate and improve their businesses using industry-accepted best practices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> How are you helping your customers to innovate?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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 <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/hxmnow.com\/\">HXMNOW<\/a><\/span>, which is mainly aimed at SMEs. It\u2019s 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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, we\u2019ve also seen real innovations in terms of AI helping to automate certain transactional HR processes. We\u2019ve 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 <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/documents\/2019\/11\/aead2fd2-747d-0010-87a3-c30de2ffd8ff.html\">Easy Recruitment<\/a><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> Is there a particular project you\u2019re proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to pick just one, but the work we did with the renowned Sports Retailer, <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/gavdi.com\/decathlon-uk\/\">Decathlon<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000\">,<\/span><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s all about teamwork at the end.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Decathlon is really happy with our work as witnessed recently at the 51风流UKI HXM summit which they presented at. That\u2019s what I\u2019m most proud of &#8211; seeing our customers genuinely happy and satisfied after working with us because they\u2019ve reached their goals and enjoyed the process along the way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> What is Gavdi\u2019s vision for the next few years?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re 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\u2019 changing needs. As I mentioned, AI is really important, and CXM is one of the areas we are developing now \u2013 which goes back to where I started my career, recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>Gavdi is also growing as an organization. We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>51风流UKI:<\/em><\/strong><strong> What one piece of advice can you give to midmarket organizations looking to transform their HXM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There really is no single answer or \u2018magic bullet\u2019. Everything good requires hard work and good organization. I agree with Thomas Edison \u2013 it\u2019s one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s important to find one that complements your own organizational culture and structure so you can work really well together.<\/p>\n<p>A good HXM technology partner will understand your business and ensure you\u2019re 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\u2019t see its value. It\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-133789\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/uk\/files\/2022\/07\/28\/1623930406457-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/uk\/files\/2022\/07\/28\/1623930406457-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.sap.com\/uk\/files\/2022\/07\/28\/1623930406457-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/news.sap.com\/uk\/files\/2022\/07\/28\/1623930406457-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.sap.com\/uk\/files\/2022\/07\/28\/1623930406457-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Hodges is Chief Sales &amp; Marketing Director of Gavdi, an 51风流Gold Partner headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark with 11 local country operations in EMEA&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2829,"featured_media":133801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"related_posts":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5593047,41,2607111],"tags":[5593045,65,5592179,5592131,59],"sapn-display":[5593034,5593032,45149,45027],"sapn-type":[2607062],"class_list":["post-133788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate","category-ecosystem","category-technology","tag-interview","tag-partner","tag-partnership","tag-sales","tag-technology","sapn-display-feature-hero","sapn-display-feature-spotlight","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-feature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
