SIS Launches Project Cost Management for OCS Group

In an impressive milestone, SIS, a leading Microsoft Partner specializing in ERP and CRM implementations for the construction sector, has celebrated the successful deployment of their Project Cost Management module for the OCS Group. This innovative solution is part of the SIS Construct 365 suite tailored for Microsoft Dynamics 365, aimed at enhancing financial management capabilities.

The OCS Group, which operates globally and employs over 120,000 individuals, provides integrated facility services to numerous clients across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. With a rich history spanning over 125 years, the organization focuses on delivering efficiency and reliability to both public and private sector clients through their extensive service offerings.

Previously, OCS Group utilized a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain ERP system. Following the acquisition of various companies, there was a pressing need to migrate these entities to their corporate financial platform. One acquired company, offering FM Hard Services, was transitioning from Microsoft Business Central but required advanced project cost management functionalities not supported by their existing system.

To address this gap, the transformation project team at OCS Group engaged in discussions with Microsoft UK, leading to the introduction of SIS UK. After thorough online demonstrations and consultations, it became clear that SIS's Construct 365 Project Cost Management module was well-equipped to fulfill OCS Group's needs for construction projects.

Mark Kershteyn, a partner at SIS, highlighted the impact of this decision, stating, “By opting for SIS Construct 365 Project Cost Management, OCS Group lays a robust digital foundation for real-time financial monitoring and disciplined execution across all their business sectors.” By integrating into Microsoft Dynamics 365's powerful platform, OCS Group gains better cost control and operational flexibility, matching their commitment to innovation and excellence.

With the successful go-live of this solution, the Hard Services division at OCS Group now benefits from optimized financial project management, real-time transparency, and improved decision-making capabilities. This allows them to manage costs more effectively, mitigate risks, and boost profitability. The seamless integration of this solution into Dynamics 365 Finance ensures that OCS Group receives immediate insights, streamlining processes for their construction projects.

For SIS, this achievement not only showcases their expertise in the construction sector but also their dedication to providing world-class solutions that meet the evolving needs of their clients. With over 25 years of experience in ERP, CRM, and project management solutions, SIS firmly establishes itself as a trusted partner, committed to leveraging technology for the advancement of the construction industry.

Ultimately, SIS’s innovation encapsulates the ongoing advancement of project management practices within the building services sector, driving greater efficiency and effectiveness with every new deployment. The collaboration with OCS Group exemplifies how strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology converge to create transformative outcomes in the construction industry.
