In 2024 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea implemented Oracle Cloud ERP as a centralized platform to consolidate Finance, Procurement, HCM, Payroll, Help Desks, and EPM capabilities. The program is explicitly framed to optimise processes, regain control of data, and shift from an SAP ERP ECC 6.0 environment managed by a Shared Services provider to an in-house operating model, with Version 1 engaged as the systems integrator partner. This deployment positions Oracle Cloud ERP within the council as its ERP Financial backbone supporting core business functions across finance and HR operations.
Configuration focused on core financials and procurement workflows, HR and payroll processing, service desk case management, and enterprise performance management for planning and reporting. Oracle Cloud ERP was configured to automate standard procure-to-pay and record-to-report sequences, instrument payroll and workforce lifecycle processes, and centralize planning and reporting in EPM, aligning module configuration with public sector controls and auditability.
Data migration and system transition workstreams moved transactional and master data from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 into the cloud platform, while platform architecture emphasized a unified, cloud-hosted tenancy to simplify operations and data governance. The program design included integration points to existing shared service interfaces during the transition, and an explicit handback path to the in-house service model as part of the cutover and stabilization plan implemented by Version 1.
Governance was anchored by a new Target Operating Model that redefined process ownership, service delivery boundaries, and operating procedures to support in-house provision of finance and HR services. The program balanced technical delivery, structured change management, and process optimisation, and it explicitly aims to simplify operations, automate processes, leverage data insights, and reduce operating costs while addressing the challenges and opportunities of moving from SAP to Oracle Cloud ERP.

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.
