The UK government has committed up to £366 million to modernize its legacy software systems across multiple central government departments. This initiative aims to upgrade key ERP, HR, and finance systems by transitioning them to the cloud. The program, known as Unity, will replace on-premises SAP ERP systems with SAP’s latest cloud-based platform. This move is expected to centralize finance, procurement, HR, and payroll systems into a unified, shared services model.
The Unity program is projected to deliver benefits estimated at £585 million over a 15-year period, providing a strong return on investment. The initiative will also implement standardized processes across participating departments and build a scalable system that meets future requirements. The program is expected to streamline processes and achieve cost savings through cloud technology.
