Case Study: Barts Health NHS Trust accelerates COVID-19 response and cloud upgrade with Version 1

Barts Health NHS Trust configures Oracle in 48 hours with Version 1

Barts Health NHS Trust, one of the UK's largest healthcare providers, faced the urgent challenge of rapidly establishing NHS Nightingale, a major field hospital in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The trust needed to immediately procure essential medical supplies but lacked the necessary financial and procurement systems. They turned to their long-term partner, Version 1, to rapidly reconfigure their existing Oracle E-Business Suite to meet this critical need.

Version 1 configured the Oracle system within 48 hours, implementing new approval workflows to maintain financial control, which enabled the immediate and responsible procurement of lifesaving equipment. Following this, Version 1 successfully completed a major seven-month project to upgrade the Oracle E-Business Suite to 12.2.9 while simultaneously migrating it to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This solution was vital to the hospital's operation, ensuring it could track spending and procure supplies quickly, and it marked Version 1's first customer to achieve an upgrade and cloud migration in a single project.
