Heathrow Airport’s Oracle Cloud Journey
Navigating Heathrow Airport’s transformation
NU Concept Solutions played a pivotal role as a key supplier of contract resources during Heathrow Airport's Oracle Cloud Fusion implementation project. This was a crucial component of the largest-ever business transformation programme in its history.
The Oracle Cloud Fusion implementation project included financials, human capital management (HCM) and payroll.
The Challenge
In early 2021, Heathrow Airport faced a significant challenge. Still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the launch of the IR35 contracting legislation for the private sector led to many key project members leaving the core project team. This exodus of skilled professionals risked grounding the project, which was entering its final critical phase.
Several factors made this task more challenging:
Candidates with this level of specialisation were already scarce.
Fewer consultants were open to Inside IR35 roles.
Heathrow Airport Limited's (HAL) policy of security checks and compliance meant that the onboarding process was longer than normal.
Candidates had to be onboarded before notice periods expired, as knowledge transfer (KT) was critical at this point in the project.
Our Solution
NU Concept Solutions rose to the challenge by helping to fill these roles with speed. Using state- of-the-art matching technology and technical expertise, our experts sourced and onboarded key specialists to the programme. Throughout this process, we managed the strict compliance and onboarding protocol which included DBS checks. full referencing, right-to-work checks, setting up IR35 contracts and payrolling.
The Result
The project stayed on track and was completed successfully, becoming a flagship example highlighted by Oracle Corporation.
As a result, Heathrow Airport gained a unified set of business processes across HR and finance functions enabling the aviation giant to benefit from efficiency through automation and access to accurate, real-time data.
