Government | 2670 | $715M | United Kingdom | Oracle | Oracle Cloud EPM | EPM | 2024 |
In 2024 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea deployed Oracle Cloud EPM as the financial performance management anchor of a broader Oracle Cloud program. The program covers Finance, Procurement, HCM, Payroll and Help Desks, and positions Oracle Cloud EPM within a unified set of Oracle Cloud applications to regain control of data and optimise core processes, aligning the council toward an in house service delivery model after a period of external Shared Services provision.
Oracle Cloud EPM was configured to deliver planning, budgeting, consolidation and financial reporting capabilities consistent with the EPM category, with emphasis on centralized dimensional models and shared master data. Configuration work focused on automating periodic close and budget variance workflows and aligning planning processes with operational procurement and payroll inputs to create a single source for financial performance workflows.
The deployment architecture followed a cloud first SaaS centric approach, integrating Oracle Cloud EPM with the wider Oracle Cloud suite providing Finance, Procurement, HCM and Payroll capabilities. Version 1 acted as the implementation partner, managing extraction and migration efforts from SAP into Oracle Cloud components, and the program expressly restructured delivery from a Shared Services provider to an in house operating model to centralize control.
Governance was anchored by a new Target Operating Model that defined data ownership, process standards and release cadence, combining technical delivery squads with dedicated change management and process optimisation streams. Rollout sequencing prioritized stabilizing financial close and planning processes, while governance bodies were used to validate master data, controls and intermodule workflows before expanding operational coverage.
Stated outcomes include improved operational efficiency, stronger data control, simplified operations and an objective to reduce costs while enabling more data driven decisions. The program leadership highlighted the need to balance technical delivery, change management and process optimisation as key to addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition.

Government | 2670 | $715M | United Kingdom | Oracle | Oracle Cloud HCM | Core HR | 2024 |
In 2024, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea implemented Oracle Cloud HCM as its Core HR platform. The programme is part of a broader Oracle Cloud rollout covering Finance, Procurement, HCM, Payroll, Help Desks, and EPM, and seeks to optimise processes and regain control of data while moving from a shared services delivery model to an in-house operating model. Version 1 is the delivery partner for the programme.
Oracle Cloud HCM was configured to establish a single employee record and to support Core HR workflows including workforce structures, position management, absence and entitlement administration, HR case management, and payroll interfacing. The implementation emphasized automation of approvals and HR lifecycle events, using Oracle Cloud HCM to centralise personnel data and standardise role and permission models. Configuration efforts prioritized aligning entitlement rules, payroll data feeds, and HR event orchestration with the new Target Operating Model.
Integrations link Oracle Cloud HCM with adjacent Oracle modules for Finance, Procurement, Payroll, EPM, and the Help Desk platform to enable shared master data, transaction orchestration, and financial reconciliation. The operational coverage focuses on council HR and payroll operations, finance transaction flows, and procurement workflow orchestration within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea organisation. Version 1 supported system-to-system interfaces and the orchestration of cross-functional business events to enable end-to-end processes.
Governance was anchored by a Target Operating Model and a programme governance structure including a Programme Director and a Transformation Director to balance technical delivery, change management, and process optimisation. Rollout planning emphasised staged process rationalisation, user adoption programmes, and the reallocation of shared services responsibilities to the in-house model. The programme combined configuration governance, role based access controls, and data stewardship to enforce consistent decision rights and data quality.
The programme aims to simplify operations, automate HR and payroll processes, leverage data insights, and reduce operating costs while enabling more data driven decisions. Success factors identified include balancing technical workstreams with change management and ongoing process optimisation.

Government | 2670 | $715M | United Kingdom | Oracle | Oracle Procurement Cloud | Procurement | 2024 |
In 2024 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea implemented Oracle Procurement Cloud as part of a broader Oracle Cloud program, centralising Procurement on a unified platform. The programme, delivered with Version 1 and Oracle as the vendor, explicitly covers Finance, Procurement, HCM, Payroll, Help Desks, and EPM and includes a transition from SAP and a Shared Services provider to an in house service delivery model.
The Oracle Procurement Cloud deployment focuses on core Procurement capabilities typical of the category, including requisitioning and purchase to pay workflows, sourcing and supplier management, catalog management and automated approval routing. Configuration emphasized workflow automation, invoice matching and procurement analytics, with Oracle Procurement Cloud used to standardise processes and provide consistent procurement controls across business units.
Integration architecture is organised around a single Oracle Cloud platform that consolidates transactional procurement data with Finance, HCM, Payroll, Help Desks and EPM to enable unified reporting and master data alignment. Version 1 is cited as the implementation partner responsible for platform orchestration and technical delivery, while the programme design supports data consolidation and cross functional integrations rather than isolated point solutions.
Governance and operating model changes are anchored by a new Target Operating Model that shifts ownership from an external Shared Services provider to an in house structure, and by a programme emphasis on change management and process optimisation. The stated outcomes include simplified operations, increased automation, improved data insight for decision making and reduced costs, with delivery balanced against organisational change and technical execution.
