Description

Gedling Borough Council uses Unit4 Business World (Agresso) as its core financial system. It was originally implemented in 2006 and has been upgraded three times since then, in 2010, 2015 and 2020. The system is currently used for the General Ledger, Budget setting and monitoring, accounts payable and treasury management. Other products are currently relied upon for debtors and HR.

In October 2023, Unit4 announced a strategic decision only to provide its products on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis, and confirmed that from the end of December 2024, support for its on-premises solutions would end.

Given the criticality of the finance system to business operations, Gedling Borough Council is looking for support to oversee, drive and enable Cloud migration from our current version 7.6 to Unit 4's SaaS product.
