Devon County Council has signed Unit4 ERP to provide a digital platform for its finance, procurement and financial planning and analysis functions.
The implementation will be carried out with Unit4’s partner Embridge Consulting, and the platform will include integrated solutions from the company’s strategic partners Proactis for invoice process automation and HeyCentric for income management.
Unit4 said the legacy financial system at Devon has been in place for almost 30 years, it has increased relied on add-on technology and does not provide an integrated user experience.
The council is aiming to use the new cloud based platform to leverage efficiencies through budget management, improved monitoring of its finances and forecasting.
Angie Sinclair, director of finance and public value at Devon, said: “The collaborative approach from Unit4 and Embridge Consulting, which focuses on best practice utilising high quality integrated ERP solutions, combined with their experience in the public sector, was integral to our decision making.”
