Phase one of the much talked about migration of NSW Trade & Investment agencies to a new hosted SAP payroll and human services platform has been declared a success.
Consulting Networks, part of the CN Group of companies, said it has successfully migrated ten agencies to the new platform.
The hosted SAP payroll solution is being rolled out to 8,500 NSW Trade & Investment users, with more than 5,000 users already migrated across, with an additional 3,500 to be migrated this quarter.
Brian Pereira, chief executive officer, The CN Group said that NSW Trade & Investment needed a trusted implementation partner and secure hosted environment for its payroll solution.
“The department’s sensitive HR and payroll data must be held exclusively in Australia, so we’ve established a secure, hosted SAP environment within our data centre,” he said.
“We worked very closely with the department and SAP on testing the solution to ensure a smooth cut-over for phase one, and also established an additional disaster recovery environment within our secondary data centre.”
David Kennedy, chief information officer, NSW Trade & Investment said the department is charged with driving innovation and productivity in key sectors of the NSW economy.
“Moving to a software-as-a-service model illustrates how NSW Trade & Investment is embracing new technology and leading by example,” he said.
“Working with Consulting Networks on the implementation of the hosted payroll has gone exceptionally well. It’s a credit to the project team who ensured a seamless transition.”
