An important transformation programme, currently underway within the council.
Oracle Fusion is our brand-new, all-in-one system set to launch from Summer 2024. It's designed to revolutionise our Finance, HR, Payroll, and Procurement processes.
It's not just a software upgrade. Oracle Fusion will introduce smarter ways of working, with improved data access and powerful decision-making tools.
Oracle Fusion will bring a wave of benefits to all staff, including:
- Employee and Manager Self-Service
- Easier learning access
- Streamlined procurement
- Simplified hiring
- Efficient budget management
Implementing Oracle Fusion is a vital step in our journey to enhance the core functions of our council. We're dedicated to providing top-notch services to our residents and reaching our goal of becoming an outstanding council.
Our vision is simple: "One Council, One System." With Oracle Fusion, we'll have quicker, more efficient Finance, HR, and purchasing systems. It's about making better-informed decisions and delivering excellence for our residents.
The programme sponsor is Brendan Arnold, Interim Director of Finance, and a programme team of Sandwell colleagues and expert partners are working hard to ensure the roll out is a success. They are working on configuring and testing the system, cleansing, and migrating data and developing training materials for staff and users.
