| SAP | Legacy | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018 Northern Gas Networks implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial platform. The engagement spanned from February 2018 through January 2019 and explicitly involved SAP BPC, MS SQL, and Concur as connected components used in the program.
The deployment emphasized core financial management capabilities within SAP S/4 HANA, including financial accounting, controlling, general ledger, and accounts payable/accounts receivable workflows, while SAP BPC was configured for financial planning, consolidation, and statutory reporting. Concur was integrated to manage travel and expense flows and to feed expense transactions into the financial ledger, and MS SQL was used as a supporting database layer for reporting and BPC data persistence.
Integrations between SAP S/4 HANA, SAP BPC, and Concur were implemented to streamline monthly close, planning cycles, and expense reconciliation across Northern Gas Networks corporate finance and planning teams in the United Kingdom. The operational scope targeted finance and corporate planning functions across the company, with a SAP BPC consultant role active during Feb 2018 to Jan 2019 to configure consolidation models and reporting templates.
Governance and process changes centered on standardizing month-end close workflows, consolidating planning data into SAP BPC, and establishing S/4 HANA as the transactional source of truth for financial master data, chart of accounts, and period close coordination.

| Benefex, a Zellis Company | Legacy | Benefex OneHub | Benefits | Benefits Administration | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014 Northern Gas Networks implemented Benefex OneHub | Benefits. The deployment used Benefex OneHub | Benefits as its Benefits Administration platform to provide an online employee benefits portal and to centralize voluntary benefits and incentive offerings for colleagues.
The implementation configured standard Benefits Administration capabilities including employee self service enrollment, a benefits catalogue for voluntary benefits, incentives and savings schemes, and administration workflows for HR to add and manage benefit options. Benefex OneHub | Benefits functioned as the primary interface for communications, benefit selection periods, and choice management, aligning with common benefits lifecycle workflows.
Operational coverage focused on Northern Gas Networks HR and all colleagues, delivered through an online portal branded as iBenefit, with Benefex listed as the supplier operating from Southampton. NGN add new benefits and incentives each year or when available, and the system supports ongoing catalog updates and employee access across the Leeds site and wider NGN workforce.
Governance included a procurement and contract extension recorded in an OJEU Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency notice published 22 May 2020, where Northern Gas Networks planned a one year contract extension with Benefex Ltd valued at approximately £50,847. The extension was justified by HR resourcing pressures related to Covid-19, with NGN stating HR capacity constraints would delay awarding and implementing a new employee benefits solution until Autumn when the business was expected to return to normal.

In 2012, Northern Gas Networks in Leeds implemented Hitachi Ventyx FocalPoint Suite for Asset Performance Management. The engagement encompassed a Ventyx Service Suite migration from version 7.7 to 8.1 and consultant-led configuration to align the FocalPoint deployment with gas network asset and maintenance workflows.
Configuration work focused on establishing a canonical asset register, condition monitoring feeds and health analytics, and configuring failure mode and consequence models to support prioritization. Functional workflows were mapped to enable condition-based maintenance planning, automated alerts and work issuance, and to support field crew interaction patterns common to Asset Performance Management platforms.
The technical effort prioritized integration with Ventyx Service Suite modules and existing service management processes during the upgrade, preserving work order continuity and asset record integrity. Operational coverage targeted operations and field maintenance teams in Leeds and adjacent network operations, impacting asset management, maintenance planning and field execution business functions.
Governance deliverables included phased upgrade testing, environment validation and user acceptance cycles to control risk during the migration from 7.7 to 8.1, along with configuration baselines and documentation to support ongoing change control.
