Birmingham City Council's implementation of an Oracle-based ERP system, intended to replace an outdated SAP system, has faced severe challenges since its launch in April 2022. According to auditors at Grant Thornton, the council has yet to obtain financial statements for the past two years due to unresolved design issues and ledger implementation problems. Initially estimated at £19 million, project costs could soar to £130 million, with full functionality not expected until at least 2026, raising concerns about governance and project oversight.
The implementation of the Oracle-based ERP system has not met compliance standards, severely impacting Birmingham City Council's financial management since its inception.
Auditors Grant Thornton noted that the budget for the project ballooned from an original £19 million to a potential £130 million, revealing systemic issues in project management.
