Ferguson plc entrusts its Performance Management systems to inlumi Cloud

Ferguson plc entrusts its Performance Management systems to inlumi Cloud

Ferguson plc is the world’s leading value added distributor of plumbing and heating products with its head office in Winnersh Triangle, United Kingdom. The company is dual listed on the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. The company trades as Ferguson Enterprises in the USA and Wolseley in Canada.

inlumi’s engagement with Ferguson began in 2015 with the provision of technical support for their 100 user Oracle Hyperion EPM system located on Ferguson plc’s premises. The strength of the relationship developed over the years with inlumi demonstrating excellent technical knowledge and a good track record in responding to technical support tickets quickly and effectively.

During 2019, as part of an ongoing strategy to move to the Cloud, Ferguson plc decided to investigate the option of moving their on-premise Hyperion Financial Management applications to a Private Cloud. As well as being aligned with the company’s Cloud strategy this would give the benefit of having the hosting and technical support of HFM all managed by a group of highly regarded EPM specialists from the same organisation. Selecting inlumi Managed Cloud enabled Ferguson to attain the benefits of Cloud without having to source, configure and deploy a new SaaS solution with the associated upheaval and cost of change management.

inlumi was selected in Jan 2020 to move the Ferguson plc applications to inlumi Cloud & deliver Private Cloud hosting; managing the underlying infrastructure, server hardware and operating system and Oracle EPM software layers. The project began in February 2020 and went live in May 2020 on time and on budget. Ferguson plc was impressed by the speed of project execution and although there were some technical issues encountered along the way, these were tackled quickly and with full customer communication throughout. The robust technical design, senior engineers and focused communication approach by inlumi led to a smooth go-live and seamless transition.

inlumi now delivers systems management, regular operational backups and technical application management including patching, database management and monthly system health-check review meetings.

inlumi’s Private Cloud has brought Ferguson plc the benefits of a highly secure, stable and optimal performing platform managed by Oracle EPM experts.

GPS Tagging Lesser Kestrels

This project involves tracking the migration patterns of a unique species which has been facing a dramatic population decline. In July 2022, the team has already tagged two juvenile birds, one of which is named Lumi, after inlumi.

The Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) is a small falcon that historically, was one of the most abundant birds of prey in Europe. The latter half of the 20th century saw the bird fall from grace as their numbers dramatically declined. Over the last 30 years, there’s been a huge effort to conserve the species in Europe and now populations are recovering. Still, there is a lack of data, especially on the high rate of juvenile mortalities, which is why Mossy Earth is funding the GPS tagging of juvenile Lesser Kestrels.

Radio Tagging Atlantic Salmon

Radio Tagging Atlantic Salmon

According to the Atlantic Salmon Trust, for every 100 Atlantic salmon that leave Scotland’s rivers for the sea, fewer than five return. This represents a decline of nearly 70% in 25 years. This project aims to track Atlantic Salmon through radio tags, focusing on the River Carron and its tributaries. The project will fund the tagging of 10 salmon and provides valuable data for the conservation of this iconic species, including identifying any barriers to spawning that may be exacerbating their decline.

Building eagle nest platform

Mossy Earth has built two eagle nest platforms in the Scottish Highlands to encourage rare white-tailed and golden eagles to breed on the reserve. Through this intervention, Mossy hopes to encourage eagles to breed in the mature woodland on the reserve to support the local population of golden eagles and support the return of white-tailed eagles to the area.

Protecting Turtle Eggs & Nests

Protecting Turtle Eggs & Nests

With only two known viable populations, the European pond turtle is on the brink of disappearing from Slovakia’s landscapes. Conversion of suitable breeding sites to agricultural land, and destruction of nests and accidental killing of turtles by agricultural machinery threatens the survival of this little turtle.

With access to one of the breeding areas, Mossy Earth’s project partners survey the site with specially trained dogs and erect fences around active nests to protect them from predation. In doing so, the project would help to maximise the breeding success of one of the last remaining populations of European pond turtles in Slovakia.

Building a Vulture Restaurant

Vultures

Three species of vulture that were once found in Namibia are now locally extinct and endangered globally. Among the threats are poisoning through contaminated livestock and a lack of wild prey. To provide a safe and reliable source of food, and to encourage the return of these magnificent and ecologically important species, our sustainability partner Mossy Earth has built a vulture restaurant where the vultures can find a safe and reliable source of food.
