HR and Finance Transformation
Implementing a new integrated IT System to help transform our HR and Finance services.
Project overview
The HR and Finance Transformation Programme is a major piece of work looking at how we can make HR and Finance more effective and efficient across the University.
The improvements will be facilitated by the implementation of a new IT system which is more capable of responding to the needs of our staff across the full employee lifecycle. This new system will allow us to improve how we deliver our HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement services, simplifying processes to be less manual and repetitive and more responsive to the needs of our users.
The new wider operating model for HR and Finance will embrace advanced technologies, for example AI, which will mean staff can add more value to their day.
When?
The new IT system is expected to be in place by Spring 2027.
Where?
This work will improve HR and Finance functions across the institution, benefiting all members of staff by making it easier for them to complete everyday tasks.
Why?
Our current IT systems for HR and Finance will reach end of life and end of support respectively by Spring 2027. We’re using this as an opportunity to transform how we operate across HR and Finance and create a system which is modern and sustainable and which provides the tools, processes and data to make it easy for staff to complete everyday tasks.
