Customer story:
Queen Mary University of London
Background
Queen Mary University of London is a research intensive Russell Group university, serving more than 33,000 students from over 170 nationalities across 240 degree programs, and consistently recognized for the quality of its research output.
A Unit4 ERP customer for more than two decades, Queen Mary had begun to outgrow its legacy on-premises finance platform. As the pace of change in finance accelerated, the system increasingly constrained automation, integration, and user experience within a complex and inflexible environment.
Through a collaborative partnership with Unit4, Queen Mary migrated its finance operations to the cloud. The result is a simpler, more agile finance platform that streamlines processes, reduces operational risk, and enables the University to better support students throughout their journey.
