Birmingham sets aside £25m for Oracle transformation | Computer Weekly
Summary
During a meeting held today (27 February), council leaders discussed Birmingham’s Improvement and Recovery Plan (IRP), which sets out the actions necessary to bring about change and restore public trust across the authority’s functions. While this shortfall is due, in part, to the cost-of-living crisis, the report states that “issues with the implementation of the Oracle ERP finance and HR system also delayed enforcement action”. The budget report shows that for 2024/25, the council has set aside £5.3m for Oracle support including manual work. It’s now stated it needs a further £45m for significant work required to stabilise and improve the operation of the Oracle-based ERP and HR systems. Councillor Robert Alden asked if the £45m was merely “a sticking plaster” and more money will be required in two years’ time.
