The SPEER programme implemented an ERP system across the logistical and financial domains of the Dutch Armed Forces over several years from 2005-2014.

Key challenges included the complexity of integrating many processes, organizational changes, and long timeframes. Lessons included managing complexity through a stepwise approach, strong governance, and ensuring business benefits rather than just an IT project.

Delivering the business services vision - david marshalloverheidscongres
David Marshall presents the vision for delivering business services excellence at Kent Police through establishing a shared services model. The key points are:
1) A business centre approach would group high-volume, repetitive HR and finance processes that can be standardized, automated, and delivered independently of location to improve efficiency and resilience at reduced cost.
2) The vision is to enhance operational capability, improve customer experience, and reduce costs through business transformation supported by an implementation project. This represents a significant shift rather than incremental changes.
3) A shared services centre could be implemented through various approaches like "lift and shift", a "big bang", or incremental steps. The goals are proving the model can deliver expected benefits and encouraging innovation.
