The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 deployment focused on core financial management capability, implementing standardized configuration for general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, financial reporting and consolidation workflows.

Program governance ran at the group level to drive the transformation agenda, with a standardized approach to configuration, testing and cutover across business units. The successful on time completion of the SAP ERP ECC 6.0 program marks an important step towards completion of the wider transformation agenda and positions the Group to support future growth.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022, PZ Cussons implemented Workday HCM to consolidate Core HR across its global operations and connect its workforce spanning Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. The design and build phase began in summer 2021, moving from a blank sheet to system switch on in a six month cycle and entering a userless testing buffer before a staged go live in April 2022.
The deployment delivered core functional capabilities including absence management, recruitment, compensation data capture and the talent suite for performance management, succession planning and talent reviews. Workday HCM was configured to feed merit, salary and bonus calculation workflows so that end of year performance processes flow directly into compensation actions, standardizing processes that had previously relied on decentralized spreadsheets and manual artifacts.
Implementation was executed as a single unifying Workday platform across regions, with Alight engaged as the implementation partner for design and system build. The company continues to operate SAP for finance and payroll, and the program maintains an explicit articulation of Workday HCM as the centralized HR system with potential future consideration to consolidate finance and payroll onto the same platform.
Program governance relied on a core program team and a buffer period that enabled iterative testing prior to broad user adoption, and an anticipated hypercare phase that proved to be light in intensity. Talent modules were delivered in time for the new performance year at the end of May, and the final Workday functionalities were completed by late October 2022, finishing approximately 15 percent under budget and beyond the original scope. The implementation established a single source of HR data and insight, simplified people processes and began delivering cost benefits while enabling clearer visibility of skills, succession and retention dynamics across the business.

In 2016 PZ Cussons deployed Microsoft Power BI as its Analytics and BI platform to centralize reporting for its Manchester based IT team and cross functional stakeholders. The implementation positioned Microsoft Power BI as the primary Business Intelligence tool within the company, with explicit ownership for producing business reporting and dashboards to help colleagues monitor, control and make decisions.
The Microsoft Power BI rollout focused on standard Analytics and BI capabilities including interactive reports, operational dashboards, scorecards and KPI tracking. Implementation activities emphasized data warehousing design, the development of interfaces to bring in source data, and a roadmap to increase automation and self service for business users over time.
Integrations consolidated data from SAP, CRM systems, SharePoint and flat files into the reporting layer, with ingestion and ETL workstreams identified as core deliverables. Operational coverage emphasized Finance, supply chain and manufacturing performance reporting, while the IT team engaged with functional leads to translate BI requirements into analytic artefacts.
Governance combined requirement capture, source data validation and security controls for published reports, with the IT Business Intelligence function accountable for configuration, ongoing development and access management. The configuration and process emphasis included turning colleague requirements into insight and incrementally automating interfaces and self service via Microsoft Power BI to broaden analytical access across the business.
