Hitachi Consulting UK Completes ERP Optimisation for Arqiva

Simplified, Integrated Future Platform for Applications Estate Uses Oracle SOA Framework

Core Facts

Hitachi Consulting UK today announced that it has successfully completed the merging and optimisation of financial and commercial procurement ERP systems for Arqiva, the communications infrastructure and media services company, following its merger with the former National Grid Wireless (NGW). Hitachi Consulting used the Oracle SOA Suite and Application Integration Architecture (AIA) to standardise and optimise Arqivas back-office processes, minimise disruption to day-to-day operations, and provide the company with a simplified and integrated future platform for its applications estate.

Quotes

We needed a complete migration of our back-office legacy-NGW systems into our existing Oracle eBusiness Suite. Hitachi Consulting helped us successfully migrate and consolidate the data, systems and processes, and took the lead on implementing an SOA middleware platform so that we could integrate our line-of-business systems with our ERP environment. We had limited expertise in-house and Hitachi Consulting provided us with senior, experienced consultants, with deep technical insight into the Oracle Middleware platform.

Steve Gregory, IT Director for Arqiva

Wed worked with them previously and were impressed with their flexibility and ability to meet tight delivery deadlines. Without this migration, we would have found it increasingly difficult to run our business effectively. We now have a future-proof platform for our ERP applications. As we continue to de-duplicate our non-ERP systems, we can use the SOA Middleware Platform to simplify our IT estate and componentise our approach to integration moving forward.
