About:
Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) is a social enterprise and registered charity providing homes for low income households in London and the South East.
Challenge:
- NHG's manual processes provided a poor tenant and employee experience.
- Hard-working front line staff found themselves tied up with paper work, instead of spending time with tenants.
- Slow, inefficient manual processes meant that tenant's issues weren't always resolved first time.
Services Delivered:
NHG needed a creative IT overhaul to improve inefficient manual processes and deliver a higher standard of service to tenants.
Front line staff were under pressure to deal with thousands of resident requests, but manual processes and existing technology meant issues often took days to address. Clunky processes led to data inconsistencies and the re-keying of information; admin that impacted the amount of time housing officers could spend with their residents. NHG knew it needed an IT infrastructure that would enable it to improve service levels, whilst reducing significantly costs.
The solution
Amido creates 'housing as a service'
Using Microsoft Azure, Amido delivered a bespoke, microservices platform that's significantly improved the efficiency of front-line staff while providing a better service for residents.
'WorkWise' simplifies, standardises and automates key businesses processes like repairs, lettings, arrears, visits and inspections, making them available to residents via a single self-serve online portal.
The 'housing as a service' platform now gives residents access to 24/7 services, without the need for NHG to invest in 24/7 support.
Moving to the cloud
WorkWise transforms NHG's existing technologies, including Northgate and Microsoft Dynamics, from being off-line at the weekend and out of hours, to fully supporting the new agile and highly-available infrastructure.
The scalable, flexible new platform gives NHG the ability to cost-effectively extend capabilities in future at a low risk.
In technology terms, NHG has leapt forward decades in one year, leaving its paper-based processes and legacy applications behind.
Cloud transforms NHG operations
As each suite of services is rolled out across the business, the new self-service system will save NHG time and money as 24 hour housing services are immediately available to 70,000 tenants, significantly lowering support costs.
WorkWise means NHG is no longer offline at the weekend and out of hours, with core internal systems, including Northgate and Microsoft Dynamics,
The SLA on NHG’s core services is 99.95%, which equates to just 1.5 minutes a day downtime: essentially providing 24/7 services to customers.
With issues resolved in minutes, housing officers can spend more time in the field, accessing key business processes using their mobile devices and saving 30% of their time.
