Case Study Summary

The challenge

This world-famous Premier League club relied on old finance systems and spreadsheets to manage its finances. A change in ownership and increased UK and European regulatory pressure created a clear need for modern finance systems and processes.

The club asked Change Associates to help them source a new system.
.

What we did

• Worked with the finance team to structure a systems selection process.
• Reviewed the market and built a shortlist of three software platforms.
• Identified the best-matched system integrators for each option.
• Gathered functional and technical requirements and created a procurement plan.
• Prepared a robust Request for Proposal for the client to take to market.
• Supported initial vendor engagement and handed over to the in-house procurement team to complete the process.

The result

• A prioritised list of three well-matched software vendors
• A tailored list of preferred SIs, aligned to each vendor
• A structured procurement pack ready to take to market
• A clear, confident handover to the client team with no further consulting required
