We are at an interesting place in the life cycles of a number of traditional integrated housing systems in the UK and Irish marketplace. From a choice of just about nine options, not all covering the full spectrum of a few hundred to a few hundred units either, many are at somewhat of an impasse.

Some are now and feel very, very old and long in the tooth, using some old or unpopular technology (Silverlight, VB6 etc) or pretty much declared (officially or unofficially) end-of-life already.

Its no wonder that MS Dynamics CRM resellers, are seeing some potential rich pickings, based on offerings available and/or the perceived or actual level of customer care received, from existing or previous suppliers.

Some existing suppliers are working hard to redevelop their solutions, particularly into an improved, or new browser presentation. Having past experience of a rewrite that was originally estimated at 18 months and took over for years eventually, I am aware of the rampant unreliability of developer estimates. Even worse if those estimates and targets are driven by sales.

Blimey I am forever railing against people giving me wild estimates. I must sound like a stuck record. Are these staff inexperienced, short-sighted, or unable to bother taking previous projects and learn the lessons from what worked well and less well there?

Clearly for building new software, the cost of development in the UK and the variable skill-set, attitude, motivation of developers etc, can limit how fast new products can be brought to market. Have too small a pool or ones with limited skills, maybe losing two or three particularly talented staff, can all put a break on rapid transformation of products.

The clear shortcut to accelerating development and product production is off-shoring.

Interesting to read this month that Castleton are the latest to explore enhancing their operation with India offices, Bangalore in the south and Baroda in the north. There’s potential here for some accelerated development, although from my previous experience, off-shore teams need careful management.

Mukesh Patel, Sushil Tasgaonkar, Dean Dickinson, Ian Niblock

Other suppliers have seen development run away or perhaps not provide expected productivity, without embedding ‘senior managers’ or directors, in the off-shore operation for 4 or 6 weeks typically, at a time, to get the absolute best from a remote operation. Nice work if you can get it, if you like the culture, such as the famous Benne Masala Dosa with chutney, bring it on. I enjoyed Bangalore very much when I backpacked around the sub-continent, a few decades ago.

The key managers in India have worked with CEO Dean Dickinson before, in his previous life at Advanced/COA, so hopefully Castleton customers may be experiencing the benefits of the new additions soon, without excessive supervision. My contacts in the know tell me that direct off-shore salaries can be up to a seventh of equivalent UK salaries, for effective development.

16 staff are mentioned, compared with other suppliers known to me doing this, that sounds like a very low number. At least doubling or trebling that, might well provide more bang for the buck, also allowing some true leap-frogging here from Castleton. Just a thought, it would be great to see suppliers stepping up.

Happens All The Time

If you do the Twitter thing, follow me at @HousingITguy
or LinkedIn here https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonysmiththathousingitguy


I was talking with someone who has worked in Social Housing ICT for over a decade, with various system solutions recently. He had recently been involved in yet another late system implementation and asked me, “Have I ever known any manage to go as per project plan or even just 3 months late”? After I had stopped laughing, I said yes, only one recently! This happens pretty much all the time.

He knew I had been an implementer once and managed a team of them. He also had been involved in one of my old implementations which pretty much went to time. He asked me how I had managed to pull it off and why they often go wrong.

Implementations can easily go adrift with badly trained, inexperienced or poorly disciplined implementers. That can hit profitability of system implementations badly, particularly if the initial sale has not included enough days. For sales people it is tempting to reduce days in the initial sale as it makes it more likely to win an OJEU process. The hope is that any missing days can be mopped up later, at (customer) cost, via Change Control.

Implementers are best motivated or rewarded for completing those days as efficiently as possible. Then they get better at their job. Incentivising implementation teams to ‘sell on’ extra days is generally a recipe for disaster. Short term it looks like it adds additional profitability, but is quite the reverse reputationally.  It rewards poor work, which experienced customers generally realise, adding insult to injury. Reputationally its shooting yourself (& your reputation) in the foot.

What can customers do to keep projects on track?

Well, do your best to use the project plan as a living document, would be a good start. Its not just a static appendage to the original contract. Force your supplier to keep up to date with it, revise timescales as things change. Also customers need to keep a tight reign on their own project team. To ensure the right staff attend supplier on-site or config sessions, ensure suppliers are pressed to provide overviews of what future sessions will cover. These can often be delivered too near to scheduled days or often not at all. This is not acceptable.

If this occurs I think its justifiable to be able to cancel a session, without penalty. If your supplier cannot define what the planned session is intended to cover, it should be deferred until they can.

Many projects are allowed to drift for the first few months, the excuse being that “there’s plenty of days in the project”. Lost days like this will no doubt be added on in the end, exaggerating the delays that can occur and potential additional costs. If you think it necessary, agree objectives for each supplier day and rate them when completed, including any follow ups required. Working together as a partnership openly is by far the best policy, to reduce misunderstandings.

Start well and ensure your supplier does too.  Start as you mean to go on is the best advice and hopefully it will set the scene for a more successful and on-time project.

Fingers crossed!

Talk is cheap as the saying goes, but is that still the received wisdom with conferences and exhibitions?

In my 20’s a work mate helped me make the leap from seeing exhibitions and conferences as more than just a day out of the office and a free buffet lunch, in a hotel chain, somewhere off the A1(M). Her secret was to make it one of her main tasks, to learn a minimum of three takeaways, to take back and impress all our colleagues with. She always did too.

Since then I have learned so much and shamefully lost touch.

Since then I have participated in no end of panels, presentations and double-acts, to try to share my knowledge. Occasionally events have covered my train fare or put me up in the venue the night before. All good stuff and I am always genuinely grateful. Often I do ruck up for the fun of it and manage to exchange three takeaways, back and forwards.

Recently I noticed someone I follow on Twitter, an expert on certain types of tenant engagement, talking about being tapped up to present, but being then asked for a fee of several thousand pounds. Clearly she refused the ‘opportunity’, which was more of a profit making one, for the organisers.

I have experienced the same, where the pitch is that ‘several hundred CEO’s will be attending, all eager to hear my experiences of transformation, or other areas. The rub is that I would need to buy an exhibition stand package, for the privilege, £15k or £10k reduced, if I bite early.

While this may make conferences profitable for their organisers, I am sure that this approach can only lead to short term gains. There is generally very little to learn from suppliers, who can afford to splash £15k on a stand and tell you how good they are. Everything is pretty brilliant in sales and demo land.

Conferences are missing a trick, not getting more varied experts in to speak, share real and sometimes raw experiences and insight. That’s where the majority of my takeaways have been always gleaned. Those conferences that are open to that, are the ones that are flourishing. See you at Housing Technology, March 2019, let me know if you will be there 😉
