South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils
Local government councils migrate to agile, change-ready Cloud finance management with Unit4.
The challenge
South Oxfordshire District Council works with Vale of White Horse District Council to provide cost-effective services to approximately 294,000 residents in the southeast of England.
The Councils are continually looking at innovative new ways to manage budgets more effectively, drive change, and deliver better public services. The goal was to transform finance operations — liberating resources to focus on more of what matters most: helping citizens and local communities thrive.

Our solution
Solutions for public sector organizations
We serve public servants, freeing them from menial bureaucratic tasks so they can focus on helping citizens and communities thrive.
How did we help?
- Unit4 Managed Application Services (MAS) provided collaborative support, public sector implementation expertise, and experience from scores of previous cloud projects to reduce risk and shrink time-to-value.
- Cloud-first application strategy led the Councils to re-evaluate existing Unit4 deployment. Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Cloud eliminated cost, complexity, and maintenance. It adapted quickly and easily to change and enabled the Councils to innovate new features.
- Implementation went live in only six months, partly owing to standardized financial processes, using pre-built features, and Unit4 MAS expertise.
