Södertälje Kommun
Agile, change-ready local government transformation with Unit4 Cloud
Background
Södertälje Kommun faced unprecedented demand for its services in the face of budget uncertainties, the move to a hybrid workforce, and a legacy finance platform that couldn’t adapt easily to change. The existing finance platform struggled to support automation, digitization, and a more efficient way of working. There were multiple manual checks and controls which absorbed resources, financial processes were non-standard and finance reporting was slow and labor-intensive.
Now, a single, intuitive, connected Unit4 cloud finance platform is helping this leading Swedish municipal authority adapt faster to change, free up resources, and ensure finance becomes a partner to strategic decision making.
How we helped
-
Agile, modern finance – New API-powered systems connected rapidly and transaction times are faster.
-
Efficient, rewarding workplace – Less time spent on manual tasks and controls — and more time on analysis and strategy.
-
Faster time-to-value – Prebuilt Unit4 Municipal template minimizes customization, supports best practice processes, and streamlines training and adoption.
Ultimately, Unit4 is empowering the community by increasing social value and freeing up greater investment in support of local initiatives.
