Sheffield Haworth talk about implementing
the right technology to support a growing
international business.
Sheffield Haworth is a leading global executive search, interim
management and human capital advisory company. The firm focuses
on the global financial services industry across all sectors and is ranked
by Executive Grapevine in the UK as number one for specialist executive
search firms for 2012/2013.
With more than 120 professionals across ten international offices, Sheffield
Haworth is a truly international company operating in all the major
financial centres in Europe, the USA and Asia Pacific. As such, the key
requirement for its technology platform is to allow consultants access to
reliable, consistent data in real time, wherever they are based in the world.
Having carried out a comprehensive review of the software currently on
the market, Sheffield Haworth concluded that Invenias was their preferred
solution, meeting the specific criteria they had set.
“We were looking for a cloud-based solution, we’d had nearly 20 years
of using legacy software and with that you get an inevitable decline in
usefulness as your hardware gets older and then needs to be replaced –
something that isn’t an issue with a cloud-based system,” says Richard
Watson, Group IT Director.

But it wasn’t just the cloud-based nature of Invenias that has convinced
Watson. “The big selling point for Invenias is the way that it sits within
Outlook,” he continued. “Everything else that we looked at was either
browser- based or worked as a separate app or program. Invenias is a
very natural work flow because what do you do when you first switch on
your PC in the morning? You open up Outlook and check your email and
as part of that, with Invenias, your database opens automatically so it’s just
a more simplified work flow and a more natural way of working.”
Furthermore, Sheffield Haworth found that even though the software
works straight out of the box, Invenias was flexible enough to allow them
to tailor the software to reflect the way that they work.
