Case Study: Huron Consulting Group improves utilisation and planning with Retain International

Global Management Consultancy Group Enhances Utilisation And Aligns Planning Practices With Retain International

Huron Consulting Group, a global management consultancy with more than 2,600 employees across the USA, was struggling with manual, spreadsheet-based resource planning. The process was time-consuming, error-prone, and lacked the visibility and reporting needed to improve utilisation and break down silos across the business. Huron turned to Retain International for a dedicated planning solution, using Retain Corporate, Skills & Web Viewer.

Retain International implemented a centralised resource planning and skills management system tailored to Huron’s requirements. The solution improved transparency, enabled real-time updates, automated previously manual reports, and created a detailed skills database to help planners find the best-qualified resources. As a result, Huron reported greater efficiency, better utilisation and profitability, reduced user error, and faster decision-making, with Retain becoming a business-critical tool over the following decade.
