- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedcancelledPublished valueNot publishedUnit 4 Business Software - The application is essential IT infrastructure as it provides accounting and reporting functionality, enabling budget allocation and management across the university. It is also the system that manages our expenses, both staff and student, procurement, accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger and commitment accounting. Existing systems have been procured historically as they have integration with Unit4 ERP. Included in the contract is the purchase of the Finance Planning and Analytics module. Unit 4 have taken the decision to migrate its on-premises ERP solution to the cloud. The critical nature of this infrastructure and the interdependencies with multiple existing systems mean that it is not viable to change provider of this system as, at the present time, it would not be possible for the University to procure an alternative economic operator to implement the solution, provide the full range of services and train all University users, within a suitable timeframe and without detrimentally impacting the operations of the University.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published
