Case Study: University of Oxford modernises finance systems with Version 1

University of Oxford upgrades finance systems and removes custom code with Version 1

The University of Oxford, a longstanding institution, needed to modernize its outdated financial management systems to continue its mission. The university partnered with Version 1, its existing managed service provider, to assess upgrade options for its Oracle E-Business Suite and build a business case for the project.

Version 1 developed a detailed roadmap to upgrade the E-Business Suite and database to the latest versions, while also scoping out a potential migration to a public cloud. The solution streamlined the system architecture, removed redundant custom code, and re-designed the technical infrastructure for greater efficiency. This provided the university with a state-of-the-art finance platform, enabling its team to work more securely and efficiently while positioning it for future growth. The compelling business case developed by Version 1 was used to secure funding for the full modernization.
