An optimal resource management tool deployed in less than 5 weeks

The challenge

‍

Since 1987, Axys Consultants has acquired a wealth of customer experience, acquiring a unique know-how and a 360° view of the issues of our time. Over time, Axys Consultants has surrounded itself with motivated collaborators who work with hundreds of clients on a daily basis. 

‍

Axys Consultants came to Napta with two major challenges: to improve and harmonize the assignment process across all business units and to modernize the end-of-project evaluation process. An inspiring challenge that the Napta teams were delighted to take up!

‍

Axys Consultants' challenges

‍

Good management of assignment cannot be improvised! It is a difficult art, which requires great communication between all teams and employees. Without this, the assignment process can create many points of friction and frustration for managers, while being opaque for the management team. Axys Consultants has therefore decided to take matters into its own hands to achieve 4 objectives.  

1. Create a single process at assignment to standardize the business units. No more creating a new Excel file for each assignment!
2. Give more visibility to the management on the processes of assignment to facilitate the management of the activity. 
3. Pool all the information from the different BUs, with a view to facilitating cross-assignment. 
4. Modernize end-of-assignment and annual evaluation processes through digitalization.

The Napta solution

‍

In order to meet Axys Consultants' needs in record time, our teams pulled out all the stops and succeeded in deploying and implementing the system in 5 weeks. 

‍

WEEK 1

It all started with a meeting with all Axys Consultants entities. The company's associates expressed their desire to equip themselves to ensure optimal management of the business. The decision was made: Napta was to accompany them in this project! First step: initialization of the platform via the import of employee data and the history of past and current assignment . 

‍

WEEK 2

This second week was punctuated by the construction of an API connection between Napta and the CRM of Axys Consultants (Salesforce), in order to retrieve and display on the solution of assignment all the information related to commercial opportunities.

‍

WEEK 3

Because it is essential to an optimal assignment process: Napta's teams guided Axys Consultants in the construction of a complete skills map, thanks to the creation of a customized reference system for the company. 

‍

WEEK 4

Last straight line before the launch, Axys Consultants' partners are trained to use the platform by Napta's teams. The different workshops allow us to guarantee a Napta referent within each entity or business unit.  

‍

WEEK 5

After only 1 month of preparation, it is time to test the solution. Napta is used for the first time in a committee of assignment. The results of the latter are convincing, and the platform is finally opened to all Axys Consultants employees.

‍

A deployment in record time! 

‍

The challenge was therefore met with flying colors:

• In less than 5 weeks, Axys Consultants was equipped with a custom-made, intuitive and collaborative tool. Nearly 250 consultants in 9 entities use Napta on a daily basis for their management of assignment, which saves a significant amount of time during assignment cross-entity meetings. 
• The transparency brought by the solution on the whole process of assignment allowed the associates to follow their activity in real time and to adapt perfectly the piloting. 
• At the same time, never before has the company made so much use of cross-assignment, made possible by the pooling of information and resources. 
• Finally, the modernization of work tools facilitates employee feedback. By digitizing their end-of-project evaluation, they are encouraged to work on inspiring projects, while ensuring that they remain on a challenging professional course. 

5 weeks to change everything

‍

In 5 weeks, the processes of assignment Axys Consultants have changed. It has become easier for the teams to communicate with each other. As for the partners, they have gained visibility on the progress of the missions, the budgetary follow-up and the teams' workload. 

A change that rhymes with performance! And that's not something the Napta teams don't like, as they are always looking for a challenge and are delighted to make life easier for the managers assignment, the employees and the partners of Axys Consultants.
