Four major UK government departments have chosen Oracle Cloud to modernise their corporate services in a decade-long deal worth £1 billion.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and the Home Office will all use Oracle’s platform to streamline their finance, HR, and supply chain operations, affecting nearly 250,000 civil servants.
Part of the government’s Synergy Programme, this move will introduce a common operating model and a single SaaS platform backed by common data standards across the departments, helping to improve efficiency and cut costs. By adopting Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the departments aim to boost productivity and make better use of data for decision-making.
DWP, Oracle, and Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) members IBM and Deloitte will jointly implement the programme.
“We are building a common operating model and establishing business processes that will be used collectively across four Departments that employ nearly half of all civil servants in the UK,” said Chris Murtagh, Chief Technology Officer and ERP Programme Director of the Synergy Programme in a press release.
“Oracle Cloud will create a single platform that will expand insights, increase efficiency, and allow us to better meet the needs of citizens,” he added.
“Governmental departments are under ever-increasing pressure to make sure they are working efficiently and cost effectively,” said Siobhan Wilson, senior vice president and UK country leader, Oracle. “The move to Oracle Cloud will increase efficiency and deliver more value to UK citizens.”
