Seamless SAP Fieldglass implementation in the technology sector with Guidant Global

Guidant Global and Lorien are both part of Impellam Group: a connected group offering unparalleled workforce and STEM talent solutions expertise to provide organisations with mission-critical skillsets to future-proof their business.

Guidant Global and Lorien, working in collaboration, partnered with one of the world’s foremost business intelligence, events, and publishing firms, with an extensive network and a reputation for delivering authoritative insights.

Seeking to modernise its contingent workforce management, the client initiated a competitive tender for a managed service provider solution.

Guidant Global was selected to deliver a programme underpinned by the SAP Fieldglass VMS, enhancing visibility, compliance, and process efficiency across multiple business units and locations.

The client needed to integrate separate systems in place for HR and finance, achieving seamless data flow across key enterprise platforms.

Ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements such as IR35 was essential as the client modernised its contingent workforce management.

The need to transition existing supplier relationships smoothly, without disruption to ongoing projects or talent pipelines, added complexity to the programme.

The client required an approach that would support rapid deployment and minimise operational risk while still meeting accelerated timelines.

Many team members worked remotely, so the ability to collaborate long-distance was essential while maintaining pace, clarity and governance.

A solution centred on SAP Fieldglass, delivered collaboratively by Guidant Global, SAP Fieldglass and the client.

The programme design, build, and implementation were managed collaboratively, with weekly reviews and stakeholder reporting. Key integration points were delivered by Guidant Global’s Technology Management Team.

Five system integrations delivered
