The separation from their parent company presented numerous challenges for Jacopa. The most complex of these involved the uncoupling of their IT systems and software. All of which were proprietary to the parent entity and necessitated replacement.
Efficiency Improvement Focus
After a successful management buy-out, wastewater treatment specialist Jacopa was given just nine months to complete a full separation from parent company Ovivo. With a complex IT infrastructure to replace and the tight deadline looming, Jacopa turned to ERA Group for assistance. What they received was innovative solutions, best-of-breed technology and a competitive advantage.
Jacopa was established in March 2015 following the divestment of Ovivo UK’s municipal business to the existing senior management team. Several of the UK’s most recognised wastewater treatment brands now operate under the new Jacopa umbrella. The company specialises in the design and project management of systems and equipment utilised in wastewater treatment and provides its clients with an end-to-end service, encompassing product engineering through to maintenance and repair.

"We had an ERP system that was mandated and was not optimally suited to our business operations. The new system offers enhanced functionality and is more intuitive. There is substantial further development anticipated, which will undoubtedly benefit our operational processes." [Peter Sargent, Finance Director, Jacopa]
