Driven by excellence in design, manufacturing, and construction Laing O'Rourke strive to be the leader in the construction industry. To achieve this vision, they need to give their diverse, global staff simple and easy access to information and document sharing on a single, robust digital platform.
Laing O’Rourke’s current IT estate would not permit easy, global access to documents needed by their people on the ground, nor was it easily accessible to their diverse workforce who have varying levels of IT competencies.
ClearPeople delivered an enhanced Integrated Group Management System (iGMS) that has not only modernised Laing O'Rourke's process and procedure management system but also became accessible to everyone in either an office or remotely on construction sites.
In this interview, we spoke to Laing O’Rourke’s Digital Communications Manager, Kerri Warner, and Group Human Capital & Corporate Affairs Director, Josh Murray.
We discussed their vision for a central, digitalised hub to drive collaboration across the global business and support their communications needs alongside their specialised Line-of-Business (LOB) systems.
"The long-standing relationship with ClearPeople has evolved over the years to what is now a strong collaborative partnership. Combining Laing O’Rourke’s ambition to be a digital leader in the construction industry with ClearPeople’s IP, skills and expertise in the Microsoft’s cloud stack has proven to be a powerful mix. We are experiencing tangible outcomes and very positive feedback from across the business. What has been key is the ability to deliver complex features and functionality through a simple and engaging user experience that makes sense to our users wherever they are, in the office, on-site or in a first line worker role. One of the obvious benefits of the investments we have made is that we are far better placed to deliver outstanding outcomes for our customers."
