case study: Places for People - Performance Management For Social Housing
With a turnover in excess of £200million and a workforce of 1600 people, Places for People is one of the UK’s leading housing and regeneration specialists being responsible for more than 52,000 homes in England, Scotland and Wales for rent and sale.
Places for People needed greater additional insight into organisational performance and improved performance management across every aspect of the business, from property development and housing provision to financial services and social care.
The company planned to consolidate its core operational applications into a centralised and standard instance of software programmes in order to achieve accuracy and consistency in both transactional and performance management applications.
Ultimately the project created an Enterprise-wide Data Warehouse spanning the 10 subsidiaries.
Recognising the specialisation of Business Intelligence (BI) and performance management solutions, the client wished to identify a BI database and performance management software toolset which were fit for purpose, and a reliable business intelligence solutions provider. Based on both previous work with the company and its established track record for successful delivery, visualmetrics was selected to design and deliver a performance management software solution centred around business critical housing key performance indicators, enabling Places for People to conduct meaningful performance anlysis and performance measurement.
