Waltham Forest Council, based in East London, England, has selected Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite to streamline operations. By using Oracle Fusion Applications for
finance, procurement, and HR the Council will be able to improve insights, reduce costs, and enhance its employee experience. The implementation will be delivered by Oracle Partner Network (OPN) member, Evosys, a Mastek company. Serving over a quarter of a million people, Waltham Forest Council's aging on-premises business systems had created time-consuming manual processes for employees and rigid reporting structures that impacted overall decision making. To streamline and standardise data across critical departments and automate processes to create efficiency, improve accuracy, and enhance employee experience, the Council opted to replace its highly customised on-premises SAP ERP system with Oracle Fusion Applications. The Council has partnered with leading systems integrator Evosys, a Mastek company to deliver the solution. With Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), and Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), Waltham Forest Council will be able to take advantage of the cloud to break down organisational silos, standardise administrative processes, and securely manage finance, HR, planning, and procurement on a single
integrated platform. The Oracle implementation will enable the Council to automate financial planning and forecasting to improve management insights and decision making, and adapt its people strategy using accurate data and insights from across the employee lifecycle. With Oracle Guided Learning, the Council will be able to rapidly enable employees through step-by-step guides and push notifications embedded into the applications, in order to improve adoption and decrease the volume of requests handled by HR and support teams.
In choosing Oracle Fusion Applications, Waltham Forest Council is joining a rapidly growing customer base of local government and public sector organisations, including Suffolk County Council, Havering and Newham Council, Lambeth Council and more.
