West Midlands Police’s Digital transformation project achieves a
significant cloud milestone
BIRMINGHAM, England -- (Business Wire)
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) today announced that they
have teamed with West
Midlands Police (WMP) to successfully deploy a suite of Oracle
Cloudapplications designed to increase
efficiencies and processes across the force. The project is one of the
first implementations of cloud technology by a public safety agency in
the U.K.
The SaaS applications deployed for the West Midlands Police, across
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM) and
Customer Experience (CX) solutions, have enabled the force to modernize
processes across its HR, finance, procurement and shared services
departments, and provided an internal self-service portal allowing
officers and employees to quickly access critical information and
back-office services. The introduction of a cloud-hosted supplier portal
also enhanced agile interaction between the force and its suppliers.
“The deployment of this cloud technology is the latest-step on our
technology transformation journey as envisaged under our ‘WMP 2020’
change program,” said Neil Chamberlain, Director of Commercial Services
at West Midland Police. “This project represents a significant
investment by the force as part of our transformation program and
demonstrates our commitment to investing in digital technologies to
enable new and more efficient ways to manage operations, share
information and deliver police services to the public.”
Accenture has worked alongside WMP since 2014 when selected
as transformation partner to help create and deliver the WMP 2020
change program; an ambitious five-year transformation project to create
a modern, technology-enabled and more efficient force. The team
leveraged the Accenture Cloud Suite for Oracle, including an
industry-specific solution developed by the Accenture Oracle Business
Group to provide a faster delivery with more quality assurance.
“By leveraging our Cloud First approach and leading industry and
technology capabilities we have, in partnership with West Midlands
Police, delivered a modern suite of back office services that will drive
efficiencies and increase collaboration and information sharing across
the force,” said Dave West, Managing Director, of Accenture’s Health &
Public Service business. “The technology enables WMP to access and share
information where and when required and supports modern digitally
enabled Policing in the West Midlands region.”
Debbie Green, Senior Sales Director for the Public Sector at Oracle UK
said, “The public sector is innovating at a rapid rate to transform its
organizations and deliver better services to the taxpayer. West Midlands
Police is a leading example of how organizations are looking to make use
of cloud technologies to change their operations and deliver the next
generation of public services.”
