Avon and Somerset Police has selected Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to help make its operations more efficient. The service is looking to connect business processes to improve insights, increase productivity, and enhance the employee experience.

Serving citizens across Bristol, Bath, Somerset and South Gloucestershire, Avon and Somerset Police said its use of a highly customised on-premise ERP system had begun to impact its productivity and its mandate to boost resources for frontline policing services. To connect and standardise business processes, it decided to replace its SAP system with Oracle Fusion Applications.

“We need to evolve and modernise our operational approach as we align ourselves with new and growing service demands and public expectations, as well as the rapidly-changing needs of our workforce,” said Nick Adams, chief officer for finance, resources and innovation at Avon and Somerset Police.

Avon and Somerset Police will be implementing Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), and Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM). It said this will enable it to connect data from across its business functions to break down organisational silos, enhance controls and compliance, improve insights, and better align financial and operational planning.

Avon and Somerset Police will also be able to adapt its people strategy to new service demands with an integrated HR platform that “unifies all processes across the employee lifecycle and improves the employee experience.” Avon and Somerset Police has selected Oracle Integration Cloud to connect key data between Fusion Applications Suite and other applications with its new SaaS based Totalmobile Workforce Rostering Solution to become more productive and efficient in planning shift patterns.

 Public sector organisations are under enormous pressure to keep up with the pace of change, and the cloud offers opportunities to innovate and stay ahead,” said Guy Armstrong, SVP of applications, Oracle UK and Ireland.

“With Oracle Fusion Applications, Avon and Somerset Police now has an integrated business platform that can help it meet both its current and future needs, and better service its staff and the public.”
