Claremont, one of the UK’s leading independent Oracle Managed Service Providers, has been selected to lead the delivery of the Oracle components of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business transformation programme for the City of Edinburgh Council.

The programme will provide the Council with a modern, secure and fully supported finance system that delivers business benefits by optimising the Council’s IT environment. 

Claremont will work in partnership with CGI and the Council to deliver the transformation programme, which comprises several elements:

Councillor Rob Munn, acting Finance and Resources Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: “We’re modernising services across the Council and investing in technology to make our processes as efficient as possible. This latest IT upgrade will support the way we deliver our finance systems, making them more flexible so that we can provide an even better customer experience for residents and suppliers.”

 

"Our partnership with Claremont will help us to carry out important upgrades to our internal IT systems"

 

Councillor Joan Griffiths, Vice Finance and Resources Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, added: “The last few months have really reminded us how much we rely on having access to modern technology and the right tools for providing the very best services we can. Our partnership with Claremont will help us to carry out important upgrades to our internal IT systems, and I’m pleased that we’re entering the new contract at what is a crucial and exciting time for our Council’s digital programme.”

Claremont CEO, Mark Vivian, said: “It’s great to see the City of Edinburgh Council embark on such a vital ERP business transformation programme, and we are proud to have been selected by such a prestigious local authority. We are looking forward to working with them to deliver value back to their citizens over the coming years.”
