What are the Benefits?
Ideas Management offers an integrated solution that works seamlessly with the PeopleSoft HRMS application.
The solution is delivered faster than a typical project as the design is already complete and ready to be deployed.
As the deployment has already been applied at other sites, the customer gets a delivery that is proven and tested. The customer does not need to set up a large project team to support this implementation.
Ideas Management is fully documented and Solidnet provides training and knowledge transfer to the customer.
Nationwide has over 15,000 employees. Brainwaves, their corporate Ideas scheme, receives over 450 ideas a month and has saved the company an estimated £12 million over the last 12 years.
Nationwide use Ideas Management to manage their corporate, local and customer ideas schemes.
The automation in the solution has enabled them to improve communication and support for suggestors and evaluators, as well as making administration efficiencies.
Consequently the number of suggestions submitted since implementation has increased by over 25%.
