IN BRIEF: AMEY CHOSE THE QUERY MANAGER SOLUTION


Amey is a leading supplier of consulting and infrastructure support services both in the UK and internationally, with a team of 19,000 working across four continents.  The company is a very varied, made up of five business units covering a wide range of infrastructure and services. Because of the nature of Amey’s business and the amount of TUPE* transfers they do, both in and out of the company, their headcount can fluctuate by two to three thousand a year. This adds enormous complexity to their system architecture, and increases the need for robust reporting solutions to empower business users, rather than relying on expensive ABAP expertise.

Amey required an easy solution that would reduce the complexity of their systems and give them the data they need to run their business. Query Manager is the solution which gives them the flexibility to manage and control all HR reporting and interfaces in-house with quick and easy automated processes.

*TUPE is an acronym for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations which govern the movement of employees and any liabilities associated with them from the old employer to the new employer by operation of the law. These regulations preserve employees’ terms and conditions when a business or undertaking, or part of one, is transferred to a new employer.

We have been asked whether the HR department could manage QM and reports. One of the major things is that even if you take it slowly, you’ll be able to get your head around QM and produce what you need to – a big benefit is the ease of being able to produce reports – it’s a very user-friendly programme, even though it does complex work.
