< Back HR Transformation for the Automotive Industry Interval supported an ambitious HR transformation for a global automotive manufacturer headquartered in Germany. The end client launched a €45 million programme to design and implement a unified HR services model across the group, and partnered with Interval to provide specialised expertise throughout the transformation journey. Situation The client launched a €45 million programme to design and implement a unified HR services model across the group. The consultancy partnered with Interval to provide specialised expertise throughout the transformation journey. Interval delivered targeted support through our Workbench model, providing highly skilled consultants at key points in the programme lifecycle. We began by leading the business process analysis and defining the target state. Our HR consultants facilitated workshops with approximately 100 key users from across the organisation to raise awareness, understand pain points, and document existing processes. Using forensic data from the ERP platform, SME input, and a review of local HR regulations, the team produced a comprehensive current vs. target state design. Approach To support system selection, we augmented the team with certified HR systems experts familiar with SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle HCM. We led the end-to-end vendor selection process - including designing KPIs and criteria, running “beauty contests,” and managing supplier negotiations. All findings were fully documented and presented to senior leadership, laying a strong foundation for approval and implementation. Interval worked side by side with client teams, embedding consultants into the programme to ensure cross-functional collaboration and continuity. Throughout the process, we provided: Deep HR process expertise Objective system evaluation and recommendation Support for internal alignment and stakeholder engagement Guidance on change management and business readiness On-demand fulfilment of urgent requests for resources and teams Outcomes Interval’s contribution enabled the successful delivery of the analysis, target design, and technology selection phases within 12 months - ahead of schedule and on budget. The transformation programme, now in implementation, is expected to take several years to complete. However, key milestones have already been achieved: SAP SuccessFactors was selected as the group-wide HR solution The organisation is better prepared for change, with stakeholder alignment and engagement established early New standards for HR process mapping, documentation, and consolidation The groundwork has been laid for improved compliance, efficiency, and workforce mobility for all employees Previous Next

< Back PMO to Drive IT Infrastructure Transformation A global manufacturing group partnered with Interval to design and implement a dedicated Project Management Office function for its infrastructure portfolio -helping to bring structure, visibility and alignment to a complex and fast-moving IT transformation programme. Situation Following a period of business growth and acquisitions, the client’s global IT estate had become fragmented and challenging to manage. Despite IT spend exceeding 10% of annual revenue, the organisation lacked the maturity to fully support its digital and growth ambitions. To address this, the client launched a company-wide IT transformation programme, covering IT strategy, finance, infrastructure, applications, and service desk. As the programme matured, infrastructure emerged as the area with the greatest opportunity for impact. The infrastructure workstream quickly expanded to include core advisory, data centre consolidation, SD-WAN, Cloud, Microsoft 365, Backup & Recovery, End User Computing, Security and more. Approach To manage this complex portfolio effectively, the client identified the need for a dedicated Infrastructure PMO. Interval was engaged to set up and run the Infrastructure PMO, with a Senior PMO deployed to work directly with the Head of Infrastructure. The first priority was building a robust governance model, aligned to the organisation’s wider project management methodology. This included implementing new processes, tools and reporting mechanisms. At the same time, the PMO assumed operational responsibility for managing the infrastructure project portfolio - ensuring adherence to the new standards and driving quality assurance in programme reporting. Steering group meetings with senior stakeholders were introduced to strengthen oversight and decision-making. The PMO also integrated with PMO teams from other departments, while maintaining a tailored approach to the infrastructure portfolio’s specific needs. Outcomes A "first release" Infrastructure PMO was up and running within one month of kick-off, with iterations and improvements rolled out in the following two months. Initial goals were achieved quickly: better adherence to PMO standards, improved reporting quality, and enhanced visibility across the project landscape. Previously hidden interdependencies between in-flight projects were identified, enabling stronger alignment and planning. Project delivery became more predictable, with teams now using a single platform (ServiceNow) to manage resources and timelines. Integration with additional ServiceNow modules was addressed thereafter. Due to its success, the PMO model was eventually adapted and rolled out across the wider IT organisation. Previous Next

< Back Payments Centre of Excellence for the Aviation Industry Interval supported a major international airline group in building a unified Payments Centre of Excellence (CoE) across its core airlines, as the existing payments integration had introduced complexity. Interval was commissioned to lead a preliminary study and prepare for the implementation of a Payments CoE to align with the client’s group-wide payments strategy. Situation Recognising the need for a single, scalable solution, the client sought to fully integrate its payment systems - particularly across its central ("hub") airlines - and lay the foundation for future growth. Interval was commissioned to lead a preliminary study and prepare for the implementation of a Payments CoE to align with the client’s group-wide payments strategy. Approach Interval led the preparatory phase of the Payments CoE initiative, working closely with internal teams to: Set up the project structure, governance, and delivery approach Conduct an in-depth analysis of the payments landscape across the group Define the organisational and operational structure of the CoE Develop core CoE collateral, including templates for capability management and market analysis Run workshops with stakeholders across all business units and subject matter experts We also provided specialist input on payments process optimisation and Centre of Excellence design, ensuring the client had a scalable and future-proof blueprint to move forward. Interval quickly embedded within the client’s programme team, acting as a trusted partner in shaping and structuring the Payments CoE. Our team ensured alignment across governance, technology, and commercial units while facilitating cross-functional collaboration throughout the project preparation. By working closely with internal and external stakeholders, we ensured a smooth transition from the planning phase to implementation readiness, supporting a consistent and integrated approach across the client’s group structure. Outcomes Interval delivered a robust foundation for the client's Payments CoE, including: A complete project framework, governance model, and delivery plan Detailed analysis of the current payments ecosystem, including IT systems, providers, payment methods, and customer touchpoints Defined organisational roles, steering committees, and collaboration models Operational processes and tools to support payment capability management across the group Our work enabled the client to move forward with the implementation of a unified Payments Centre of Excellence, positioning them to deliver a seamless, efficient payments experience to millions of customers globally each year.

< Back Public Sector Finance Management for a National Government Interval strengthened financial governance, operational transparency and scalability for a rapidly expanding government programme portfolio. By establishing a dedicated finance management function and introducing improved controls and reporting standards, we helped the department transition from reactive processes to a stable, scalable and future-ready operating model. Background A national government department was experiencing significant growth across its international project delivery portfolio. As programmes expanded, existing finance tools and processes could no longer support the increasing volume of activity.The department required stronger governance, clearer reporting, improved cross-department coordination and a scalable financial framework capable of supporting automation and long-term expansion. The Challenge The department faced several operational and structural constraints: Legacy finance processes unable to support rapid portfolio growth Lack of dedicated financial governance for an expanding international delivery function Inconsistent budgeting, procurement and payroll workflows Limited transparency and reporting across departments, especially where spend was recharged The need to introduce scalable systems and practices aligned to government standards Our Solution Interval established a dedicated Finance Management function tailored to the department’s needs. A highly qualified Finance Manager (ACCA, MSc Professional Accountancy) was deployed to work closely with PMO, procurement and senior departmental stakeholders. Operational Finance Services Budget and forecast management Payroll and contractor payment coordination Invoice processing and purchase-to-pay support IT finance support across related portfolios Governance and Target Operating Model Designed an improved operating model for financial governance and controls Strengthened reporting standards and monitoring processes Established consistent procedures across departments to support inter-departmental funding and recharging Implemented best practices to align financial strategy with the department’s long-term objectives Results Over 150 invoices processed monthly, supporting an annual spend of $10M Consistent operational delivery restored confidence among programme teams Robust governance introduced through a new target operating model, improving transparency and accountability Supported inter-departmental charging for 40% of total spend, ensuring accurate cost allocation Finance function expanded to support additional portfolios, including an IT cyber portfolio valued at over $2M Portfolio experienced 9% annual growth, supported by scalable financial processes Client Testimonial “Interval brought structure, clarity and professionalism to a fast-growing and complex portfolio. The finance management function they established transformed our ability to govern spend, support delivery teams and plan for future growth. Their expertise made an immediate and lasting impact.” - Director of International Programmes Conclusion By deploying a dedicated finance management solution and establishing a strong governance framework, Interval enabled the department to operate with greater efficiency, transparency and control. The improvements not only addressed urgent operational challenges but also supported sustainable growth across the programme portfolio, reinforcing the department’s commitment to financial excellence and public sector innovation.

< Back Email Migration to Microsoft 365 in the Construction Industry A global building materials manufacturer partnered with Interval to streamline and modernise its complex email estate, moving to Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online. This formed part of a wider IT transformation programme to increase operational efficiency, strengthen security, and enable scalable digital growth. Approach As part of its cloud-first strategy, the client chose to adopt Microsoft 365 as its core enterprise cloud platform - starting with a migration to Exchange Online. Interval was engaged to lead the end-to-end email migration project. An Exchange Online Project Manager and Solution Architect were deployed to work within the infrastructure team, overseeing a team of technical SMEs. The project covered requirements gathering, migration planning, application dependencies, archiving, data retention, end-user devices and clients, change management, execution, and project closure. In parallel, the project team supported a major domain consolidation initiative -technically assessing and planning the migration of all global domains to a unified .com domain. The work was delivered in alignment with the client’s established PMO standards (see success story on Infrastructure PMO). Outcome The project launched successfully with mailbox and application discovery completed in the first month. Legacy dependencies were identified and resolved through a triage approach - retiring, replacing, or remediating systems as needed. A key challenge was defining archiving and data retention policies across regions with varying legal and regulatory requirements. This was addressed using Microsoft native archiving, integrated with Azure AD and the client's HR solution. Mailbox migrations are now underway and tracked using a custom PowerBI dashboard. Once completed, the client will benefit from a fast, secure, and standardised email environment, fully consolidated to a single domain. Previous Next

< Back Digital Manufacturing in Pharma and Healthcare Machinery Staffing support for two global organisations in the healthcare machinery and pharmaceutical sectors undertaking large-scale digital manufacturing transformations. Interval sourced and deployed niche MES, SCADA, and IT/OT integration experts across multiple regulated sites in Europe, helping both clients accelerate delivery and overcome internal capacity constraints. Background Two leading global enterprises – one specialising in healthcare machinery and engineering, the other in pharmaceuticals and life sciences – were independently delivering ambitious digital manufacturing transformations. These initiatives were part of wider Industry 4.0 and operational excellence strategies aimed at integrating IT and OT systems, automating production processes and enabling data-driven decision-making across international manufacturing sites. Both clients faced comparable challenges: complex and niche skill requirements, limited in-house delivery capacity and the need to scale teams quickly across multiple sites in Europe and beyond. The Challenge Our clients needed to source highly skilled experts, including Digital Manufacturing Consultants, MES Engineers, SCADA Programmers and Validation Specialists, to enable successful programme delivery. Key challenges the clients were facing: Limited internal capacity to support multiple transformation streams in parallel Scarcity of experienced professionals with practical expertise in MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), SCADA, PLCs and IT/OT integration Site-specific requirements , including knowledge of platforms such as Siemens Opcenter, SAP Digital Manufacturing, Werum PAS-X and Rockwell FactoryTalk Onsite delivery constraints due to secure and highly regulated environments (e.g. GMP manufacturing) Tight delivery timelines requiring immediate access to qualified resources Our Solution Interval Group worked closely with programme leaders, engineering teams and procurement functions to provide a tailored resourcing model aligned to each client’s delivery needs. Our solution included: Fast mobilisation of hard-to-find talent , including Digital Manufacturing Consultants, MES Engineers, SCADA Programmers and Validation Specialists Blended engagement model combining freelance, fixed-term contract and permanent placements to suit project timelines, local compliance, budget and hiring policies Deep sector expertise , ensuring all resources had prior experience in regulated manufacturing environments (such as GMP, FDA or ISO-compliant operations) Pan-European delivery , supporting sites across Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK Centralised account coordination , giving clients visibility over spend, progress and resource planning across regions Results More than 30 digital manufacturing professionals placed across both programmes within 9 months Time-to-fill reduced by 40% compared to internal and incumbent suppliers High extension and redeployment rates , with multiple consultants retained for follow-on work based on strong performance Consistent client feedback on technical readiness , cultural fit and ease of onboarding Client Testimonial “The team consistently delivered high-quality resources that fit the technical brief and our culture. Interval’s understanding of our MES roadmap and compliance needs saved us valuable onboarding time.” — Global Programme Lead, Digital Manufacturing (Pharmaceutical Sector) Conclusion By acting as a strategic staffing partner, Interval Group enabled both clients to scale rapidly, reduce delivery risk and maintain momentum on critical digital manufacturing programmes. Our ability to identify and deploy rare skill sets across regulated sites proved essential to supporting their long-term transformation goals. Previous Next

< Back Permanent Recruitment for a Global Consulting Firm Interval has been the trusted partner at this client for several years, initially providing contingent labour to support short-term, high-demand projects. Over time, the client recognised the need for a partner who could also assist in permanent recruitment to help fill strategic, hard-to-source roles, particularly across their technology, infrastructure, and SAP teams within Consulting. Approach These roles were critical to the success of long-term engagements, and our client faced challenges in sourcing highly specialised candidates, particularly those who were not actively seeking new opportunities but had the expertise necessary for high-value consulting projects. With an established network of highly skilled professionals in the technology and consulting space, Interval employed a multi-channel recruitment strategy to source and engage passive candidates, maintaining our client’s confidentiality. We tapped into our extensive global network, utilised headhunting techniques, and leveraged niche job boards to find top talent in cloud technologies, SAP, and IT infrastructure. By engaging with professionals who were not actively applying for jobs, we were able to present the client with candidates that went beyond the conventional talent pool. This allowed us to place candidates in strategic positions within the client organisation, particularly for projects requiring rare skills in areas like SAP Digital Manufacturing, cloud infrastructure solutions, and complex IT/OT transformation. Our dedicated team built individual relationships with each client business lead and hiring manager to ensure our candidates met all requirements, including experience, technical skillset, cultural and professional fit, salary expectations and language skills. Outcomes Interval have successfully placed several permanent senior-level candidates at our client to date, contributing to the success of key projects and business growth across the practice. Our recruitment efforts have enabled the client to fill roles that were difficult to source through traditional recruitment channels. The long-term collaboration has led to a deeper understanding of the client's strategic needs, ensuring that we continue to support them with tailored recruitment solutions, both in permanent and contingent labour contexts. As a result, the client has strengthened its delivery capabilities and increased its ability to stay ahead of market demands. This partnership is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, with Interval now an integral part of the client's talent acquisition strategy. Previous Next

A key pillar of this transformation was the strategic development and optimisation of their ServiceNow platform to better support operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and business alignment. The client recognised the need for specialised expertise across multiple domains within ServiceNow to ensure the platform could not only meet current requirements but also scale to future demands. To achieve this, they sought external experts who could enhance platform governance, optimise the service catalogue and portfolio, and embed compliance and risk management into the platform's architecture and processes. Our role was to deliver a team that could provide deep technical leadership, strong governance frameworks and stakeholder collaboration to ensure a sustainable and value-driven ServiceNow environment. Approach We deployed a dedicated team of ServiceNow experts: A Platform Solution Architect was responsible for the holistic technical deployment and leadership of the ServiceNow platform, ensuring stability, scalability and the alignment of ITSM processes with business objectives. A Service Catalogue and Portfolio Architect was focused on the development, structuring and continual improvement of a high-quality service catalogue. A Compliance and Governance Solution Architect was responsible for integrating Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) requirements into the platform, optimising the Common Service Data Model (CSDM), managing the CMDB/ITOM modules and ensuring regulatory standards were met across the ServiceNow environment. Our team worked collaboratively with key stakeholders, applying agile methodologies, delivering both strategic advisory and hands-on expertise to enhance platform maturity, service quality and regulatory compliance. Outcomes Our team played a key role in strengthening the client's ServiceNow capabilities. With over 1,800 end users, the client required a stable, scalable and fully compliant ServiceNow platform to support both internal IT operations and broader digitalisation initiatives. This involved the introduction and standardisation of ITSM processes, the transfer of hardware and software asset management from Excel to ServiceNow, and the implementation of a CMDB (Discovery & Service Mapping) in a regulated environment, taking VAIT/DORA into account. Of particular interest here was the implementation and development of the information network in interaction between GRC and the CMDB. By the end of the engagement, the client had established a more resilient and transparent ITSM platform, capable of scaling with business demands and meeting the high regulatory standards expected in Germany’s insurance sector. Technical audits conducted by the client's consultancy partner showed measurable improvements. Our work laid a strong foundation for future ServiceNow developments and broader IT strategy evolution.

< Back UK Go-To-Market Acceleration (Retail Lead Generation) for an EU SaaS provider A leading European SaaS provider specialising in content syndication and digital asset management for brands and retailers engaged Interval to accelerate its UK market entry and secure high-value retailer partnerships. Overview A leading European SaaS provider specialising in content syndication and digital asset management for brands and retailers partnered with Interval to accelerate its UK go-to-market (GTM) strategy. With international expansion as a priority and a proven footprint across multiple markets, the business needed immediate UK traction, executive-level retailer engagement and a trusted local network to build pipeline quickly and sustainably. Interval supported the engagement as a strategic growth partner , providing hands-on commercial execution to unlock senior decision-maker access, accelerate early partnership discussions and establish a scalable foundation for long-term UK growth. Situation Entering the UK retail landscape requires more than outbound sales activity. It demands local credibility, strong senior relationships and a clear value proposition aligned to retailer priorities, speed and commercial risk tolerance. The client was preparing to launch in the UK with a dedicated Account Executive. However, the business required earlier market momentum to ensure that UK sales execution began with active conversations, meaningful relationships and a credible partnership narrative already in place. Key challenges included: Limited time to establish UK retailer access ahead of commercial ramp-up Need for introductions to senior decision makers across Digital, Marketing, Sales and C-level leadership Requirement to position the platform in a way that reduces adoption barriers and accelerates conversion Need to build a trusted UK partner network to amplify reach and increase qualified lead flow Objectives Interval was engaged to deliver tangible UK traction by focusing on the most commercially valuable outcomes for a market entry phase: Establish high-level connections with key UK retail stakeholders Accelerate early-stage conversations leading to retailer partnership opportunities Strengthen GTM positioning for the UK market with a clear, value-led message Support adoption by enabling low-risk commercial options to reduce barriers Build a partner ecosystem capable of generating ongoing UK opportunities Approach Interval acted as a strategic UK growth partner rather than a traditional lead generation provider. We embedded a senior UK-based GTM engagement specialist into the commercial effort, bringing deep retail sales experience and executive-level credibility. Our approach focused on enabling UK market access and traction through: 1) Executive access and introductions We prioritised the creation of direct pathways into UK retailers through an established senior network, targeting stakeholders who influence platform adoption and content syndication strategy. This included connections into marketing and digital leadership, as well as commercial decision makers. 2) Value-led GTM positioning A key factor in UK market entry success is clarity. We supported UK positioning and messaging to ensure the proposition resonated with retailer needs, emphasising tangible outcomes and reducing perceived risk at the point of adoption. This included framing options such as risk-free access models and commercial flexibility to accelerate initial onboarding conversations. 3) Retail partner and ecosystem activation Beyond individual retailer conversations, we began establishing a UK partner ecosystem to increase credibility and generate a broader flow of qualified opportunities. This created additional market coverage beyond direct outbound activity and supported a scalable lead generation engine aligned with long-term growth. 4) On-the-ground commercial execution The engagement was delivered with a hands-on execution mindset, supporting practical account development and relationship management in the UK market. This provided continuity and momentum for the incoming UK sales function. Outcome Interval helped the client establish a strong UK commercial foundation by accelerating what typically takes months: access, credibility and pipeline creation. Key results included: Faster engagement with senior UK retail stakeholders across relevant decision-making functions Improved clarity and confidence in UK GTM messaging and positioning Initiation of a credible UK partner ecosystem to extend market reach Increased readiness for the UK Account Executive ramp-up, with momentum already in place Overall, the business was able to successfully convert early UK retail opportunities into partnerships, drive adoption of its content syndication platform and build sustainable growth in the UK market.
