Southwest England's Dorset Council is preparing to swap its legacy SAP ERP for an Oracle-built replacement in a project set to cost £14.2 million over three years. According to an official notice published last week, the £417.2 million-budget unitary authority has signed a £7 million contract with Oracle "for the purchase of an Enterprise Resource Planning solution to complete core HR, payroll, finance, and procurement processes." Although the council did not name the specific Oracle product, it has published a job ad for an ERP transformation program director "to lead the implementation of Oracle Fusion," a cloud-based system.
