Case Study: Ferranti achieves people‑centred talent management and stronger engagement with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Ferranti uses Unit4 to put people at the heart of the organization

Ferranti, a leading European technology provider of the MECOMS 365 platform with about 200 staff across five countries, faced a fast-growing business and a competitive talent market while relying on fragmented, time-consuming talent processes. Its legacy 360-degree feedback and performance tools were disjointed and not user friendly, which made one-on-one conversations inefficient and hindered the company’s ability to develop, engage, and retain people.

To address this, Ferranti standardized on Unit4’s cloud-based Talent Management — launching the engagement-focused “About You” program using the Performance Management module — and went live in six weeks with close support from Unit4. The unified platform provides continuous, just-in-time feedback with pre-built templates, makes manager follow-up simple, frees HR to be more strategic, helps identify skill gaps, and boosts engagement and high-performance team building to support sustainable growth.
