Moving back-office into the cloud
Agile and responsive cloud back-office solutions enable our public sector customers to withstand and quickly recover from financial shocks and respond quickly to increasing requirements. The future is unpredictable, and robust cloud platforms are the key to thriving in this environment, and the benefits to the public sector are:
Cost savings: Eliminate the need for expensive hardware, software licensing fees, and maintenance costs associated with traditional on-premise ERP systems, and subscription-based models make it more affordable and predictable to cost.
Scalability: Scale up or down as needed, making it easier to adapt to changing needs, add new users, expand to new locations, or increase storage capacity to accommodate growth without any significant disruptions.
Security: Hosted in highly secure data centers with advanced security protocols, the latest encryption technologies, and regularly updated security measures to protect against cyber threats.
Benefits to central and local government
Unit4 serves central and local governments by enabling them to modernise their operations, collaborate more easily via a single platform and source of data, which reduces silos that, in turn, reduces costs. The ability to access data from across the organization means that they can easily respond to new statutory reporting and policy demands, such as IFRS16, ESG reporting and Carbon Accounting.
Our solutions help local and regional councils to deliver efficient services to citizens, manage tight budgets by planning and modeling change based on actuals, streamline resource planning and identify cost saving initiatives.
Healthcare
The healthcare sector faces many challenges to manage operational finance and administrative tasks, as well as increased regulatory reporting. Unit4’s ERP platform helps healthcare organizations simplify processes, optimise spend management, and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
By adopting a modern SaaS back-office platform, Healthcare organisations can collaborate easily with partners. This flexibility enables them to reduce costs, improve data integration and enable better insights into financial management.
