"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."

Dorset Council is replacing its legacy SAP ECC6 ERP with an Oracle-built solution in a programme budgeted at £14.2 million over three years. The council has signed a £7 million contract with Oracle to deliver an Enterprise Resource Planning solution covering core HR, payroll, finance, and procurement. A job advertisement seeks an ERP transformation programme director to lead implementation of Oracle Fusion. The current SAP system, introduced in 2009 and retained after unitary status in 2019, faces mainstream support ending in 2027. Extensive customisations have increased maintenance, produced a clunky, inconsistent, and non-intuitive user experience, and driven the need for change.
