Case Study: Sheffield Hallam University modernizes finance and accounting with Advanced e5

Sheffield Hallam University goes live in 1 week with Advanced

Sheffield Hallam University, a large UK educational institution, faced the challenge of achieving independent corporate status by replacing its shared city council systems with its own finance and accounting package. The university partnered with vendor Advanced and selected its e5 suite to implement core modules including General Ledger and Accounts Payable, also commissioning the development of a new Commitment Accounting module to meet its specific needs.

The solution implemented by Advanced was a multi-platform e5 system, which provided technological openness and scalability. This allowed the university to seamlessly transition from a mainframe to an open IBM RS/6000 and Oracle environment, protecting its investment in both staff training and capital. The partnership with Advanced resulted in a successfully integrated finance system that adapted to the university's rapid growth and changing IT strategy, solidifying a long-term business relationship.
