Liam is very professional and thorough in his work, whilst also being empathetic to the needs of the business. He will go the extra mile to understand the business requirements in order to implement a robust, fit for purpose system. In addition to this he will put himself out to assist should a problem arise and will work with his clients to ensure a successful outcome

I worked alongside Liam during the implementation of IFS at JLA. Liam not only has a huge amount of functional IFS knowledge but also has a very strong understanding of the technical requirements of the application. His clear understanding of IFS enables him to clearly spec out projects to ensure the end client receives the best solution for their requirements. He has a real passion for his role and was able to keep the team fully motivated during the project. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him for either a functional or project management role in the future.

      My responsibility was to understand/explore the new IFS functionality and produce a gap analysis for further development and/or discussion with IFS. Once a business decision had been made to develop additional functionality in-house, my role was to guide the technical team to achieve business requirements whilst managing the expectation of all stakeholders. Implementation was phased based on the advice I provided and implemented to the timescales required. Significant financial changes were applied across all five companies, these changes were planned, documented, presented, authorized and applied using best practice approach within the programme cutover plan. The delivery of the project required me to implement many processes across the application starting from the point of fixed asset creation and purchase, to the sale/scrap of these items. With the following headline areas in-between these two points, creation of serial objects, maintenance of hire items using service management, hire out of hire assets, sales invoicing/credits for hire out, hire in of external items, supplier invoice entry for external items, reconciliation of all costs in the ledgers. • Analysis of the business processes to identify the solution outline and subsequent definition for Hire in, Hire Out, Procurement of Fixed Assets, changes to existing service management processes, finance processes and configuration. • Interfaces to TFL and fuel providers to ensure these costs where automatically applied to the general ledger of the correct company using the required financial code string and intercompany postings if required. • Full financial configuration set-up/amendment in all companies to include posting controls, code parts, ledger accounts, voucher types, voucher series, user groups, Pseudo codes, authority classes etc. • Implementation of the solutions into all UK (65 Sites, 5 companies) offices. • Full data extraction from legacy system and Data Migration into IFS.
