SIS Successfully Launches OCS Group with Project Cost Management Module for Dynamics 365

SIS Enhances OCS Group's Operations with Construct 365

In a significant technological advancement, SIS, renowned for its ERP and CRM solutions tailored for the construction sector, has successfully implemented its Project Cost Management module for OCS Group. This milestone marks a key moment in OCS Group’s journey to enhance operational efficiency through the SIS Construct 365 solution suite integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365.

A Legacy of Excellence

OCS Group has over 125 years of history, delivering integrated facilities services that help both public and private sector organizations function seamlessly across the UK, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East. With a workforce of approximately 120,000, the group provides services to roughly 8,000 customers, thus necessitating robust project management capabilities to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

The Necessity for Enhanced Project Cost Management

OCS Group already employed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain ERP to manage their financial operations. However, with the integration of newly acquired businesses, including one specializing in FM Hard Services, the need arose for enhanced project cost management functionalities that were lacking in their existing platform. After consulting with Microsoft UK and exploring possible solutions, OCS's transformation project team was directed towards SIS UK.

The SIS Solution

Through online demonstrations and discussions, the capabilities of the SIS Construct 365 Project Cost Management module were clearly outlined, showcasing its potential to meet OCS Group’s intricate project management needs.

Mark Kershteyn, a Partner at SIS, emphasized the impact of this integration: “By selecting the SIS Construct 365 Project Cost Management solution, OCS Group is laying down a digital infrastructure for real-time financial monitoring and disciplined execution across its operating divisions.” This solution not only integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365, but also enhances cost control and operational agility for OCS Group, which has a strong commitment toward innovation and operational excellence.

Post-implementation of the Project Cost Management module, OCS Group’s Hard Services division has experienced a remarkable transformation in its financial management concerning projects. The module provides real-time visibility into project costs, enabling improved decision-making processes and overall strategic management of resources.

Conclusion

As a Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner for over 25 years, SIS continues to showcase its expertise in the realm of ERP, CRM, and project management solutions tailored specifically for construction and project-focused industries. This new venture with OCS Group signifies a partnership that aligns with both organizations' goals of delivering excellence and innovation in service delivery.
