Software package and information systems

Description

The University has a need to replace a number of disparate solutions that all rely to varying degrees on manual intervention and data manipulation to achieve financial reporting, consolidation, budgeting and forecasting requirements. There are 3 main drivers for this: a) the need to support the Financial Reporting processes effectively, providing a clear audit trail for data which is transparent and understood by all involved; b) the current University planning & analysis tool was developed in-house and has reached end of life. It can be supported for another 5 years but cannot be developed or amended during this timeframe; c) receive high quality understandable reporting proportionate to the size and complexity of the University boundaries and users information needs.
