Tender description

The University has a need to replace a number of disparate solutions that all rely to varying degrees on manual intervention and data manipulation to achieve financial reporting, consolidation, budgeting and forecasting requirements. There are three main drivers for this: a) The need to support the Financial Reporting processes effectively, providing a clear audit trail for data which is transparent and understood by all involved. b) The current University planning and analysis tool was developed in-house and has reached end of life. It can be supported for another 5 years but cannot be developed or amended during this timeframe. c) Receive high quality understandable reporting proportionate to the size and complexity of the University boundaries and users information needs.
