Overview

Office Manager consolidates HR, finance, compliance, and facilities management into a single back-office platform for a dual-market enterprise operating in the UK and US. We replaced five legacy systems with one cohesive product — improving conversion on internal workflows by 35%, halving operational bounce rates, and achieving a 92% trust score from end users.

Situation

The Challenge

The enterprise was running five separate legacy systems for HR, finance, compliance, facilities, and reporting — each with its own login, data format, and workflow. Employees wasted significant time switching between tools, data was siloed and out of sync, and IT maintenance costs for five platforms were unsustainable.

Task

The Mission

CGS replaced five legacy systems with a single unified back-office platform, consolidating HR, finance, compliance, and facilities management into one cohesive product tailored for the company's dual UK and US operations.

  • Consolidate 5 legacy systems into one platform
  • Build unified HR & payroll management module
  • Implement finance and compliance workflows
  • Create facilities and asset management tools
  • Ensure UK & US regulatory compliance
Action

The Execution

1
Discovery

Audited all 5 legacy systems and mapped cross-department data dependencies.

2
Design

Designed modular platform with department-specific dashboards and workflows.

3
Development

Built microservices platform with dual UK/US compliance data layer.

4
Launch

Phased department-by-department rollout over 10 weeks with zero data loss.

We replaced five legacy systems with a single unified platform built on a modular microservices architecture, allowing each department's module to be developed and deployed independently. Data migration from legacy systems was handled via a custom ETL pipeline with full audit trails. Dual compliance was addressed at the data layer — UK GDPR and US data privacy rules were enforced through separate data residency configurations. The platform launched department by department over 10 weeks.

Result

The Impact

Five legacy systems were replaced with one cohesive platform, reducing IT maintenance costs significantly and eliminating data silos across departments. Internal workflow efficiency improved by 35% and operational drop-off rates were halved. End-user trust scores reached 92% within the first month. The dual UK/US compliance architecture passed regulatory review on the first submission.
