Field Fisher Waterhouse reach unanimous verdict on HR Solution!
Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP (FFW) are a leading European law firm with 121 partners, over 220 other lawyers and nearly 300 support staff. FFW have offices in Brussels, Hamburg, London and Paris and exclusive relationships with Spanish firm Jimenez de Parga and Italian firm, La Scala.
FFW's main areas of practice are corporate and commercial, IP and technology, banking and finance, regulatory and real estate with particular expertise in competition & EU law, dispute resolution, employment and tax. The firm holds sector prominence in media, technology & telecoms, retail, life sciences & healthcare, hotels & leisure, energy, transport, sports, central government and public regulatory bodies.
The firm combines in-depth industry expertise with an international client base (including listed and unlisted companies, multinationals, banks and other financial institutions, professional partnerships, trade associations and Government departments) .
The firm is committed to using innovative technology and recently won two awards at the Legal Technology Awards 2008. Jane Bradbury, the firm's Knowledge Management Director, and her team were awarded Knowledge Management/Information team of the year and the firm's joint entry with Recommind won the Technology implementation of the year award, for the roll-out of Recommind's MindServerTM platform. This enables all staff to effectively search, access and manage information across both the firm and external sources via a "Google like" one-stop search.
FFW have continued their investment in proven yet cutting edge technology by choosing to implement Cascade .Net HR Solutions.
Anthony Partridge, FFW's IT Project Manager, said 'FFW chose Cascade as we required a flexible, configurable, tried and tested HR Solution that was created using the latest .Net technology' Anthony continued 'We were impressed by the unique development plan for the Cascade product, which is totally geared towards the needs of their clients, rather than an inflexible roadmap'. Here Anthony refers to Cascade's approach to future development which directly involves its clients through rapid application development methods allowing them to directly influence and review new features. This approach was vital for FFW as an organisation that believes in IT solutions to deliver an ever improving service to its clients and its employees. Cascade's Development Director, Dan Edward's commented 'FFW confirmed that their end vision included; The deployment of a core HR system that includes intelligent workflows to ease the manual workload on HR staff. Other phases of the project will include; A new HR Self Service Portal for staff, Online Appraisals with 360 feedback and Online Recruitment.' Dan continues 'FFW's requirements reflect our existing client base and planned development closely. This is evidence that listening to our clients and reacting to their requirements rather than being constrained by a roadmap allows us to deliver more real world benefits to our clients'.
Of course, software and functionality is just one aspect of what FFW were seeking. Anthony added 'We felt that Cascade have the right product, team and attitude to assist deployment of our HR vision to our staff' which drives to the core of Cascade's approach to HR Solution provision. Whilst Cascade's solutions are technology rich and offer functional depth ultimately, without the right attitude from the right team of people, Cascade wouldn't have over 120 successful implementations of their .Net solution to look back on.'
