The existing legacy system, built around Microsoft Dynamics, has been in situ for the best part of a decade. The platform has minimal integration, no use of smart web forms to improve case indexing and requires a large amount of user input to move a case through each stage gate. With a basic customer view offering very limited information and a convoluted and complex operational environment. it is difficult to train new users. In addition, the ability to provide management information outside the defined ORR reporting is highly manual and requires specifically skilled staff to administer. SWR are looking to partner with a supplier who not only has the technical capability to provide the solution we need to support the business but one who wants to work proactively with us to leverage the investment to the maximum level possible. FirstGroup is looking for expressions of interest from suppliers that can deliver an integrated and multi-functional requirement to achieve FirstGroup's vision of a single cloud solution.
