\u201cDuring a period of huge change, QTC enabled us to respond to every challenge without fail. For every issue, there was a well- considered solution and pleasingly, despite the increased agility afforded to us by the scalable cloud architecture, the answer was not always throw more capacity at it. In fact, quite often the answer was collaboration to agree innovative use of existing solutions \u2013 saving us money, as well as time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

About the project.<\/h2>\n

The lead authority arrangement shares services across West and North Northamptonshire Councils, Cambridgeshire County Council, Milton Keynes Council, and a number of other public sector partner organisations, using a tailored Unit4 Business World system: ERP Gold. The complex ERP Gold solution handles all HR, payroll, and finance business process functionalities for eleven operational clients.<\/p>\n

Three unitary councils, one county council, two pension funds, one fire and rescue authority, three independent organisations, and one payroll bureau handling the payroll for hundreds of schools all use the shared Unit4 ERP system. The extensive (and ever-expanding) client list, as well as the 27,000 people paid by the system each month, demands a highly available, scalable, and optimised Unit4 system.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Beginning in 2020, QuickThink Cloud have been working with the shared service for cloud hosting and other consultancy services. The relationship has grown considerably, with QuickThink Cloud working together with the shared service\u2019s internal teams to enable system growth and explore technical possibilities.<\/p>\n

In just the first year, QuickThink Cloud have collaborated with the shared service to migrate ERP Gold to cloud hosting, perform a milestone upgrade, and scale the system for the onboarding of two large unitary councils. Throughout, QuickThink Cloud have offered expert consultancy and advice, becoming like in-house team members, cooperating with the authority for the ultimate optimised system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
