The new system will replace more than 20 legacy systems and is designed to improve the efficiency of the Authority’s processes for financial management, procurement and works management.

Under the contract Accenture will deploy a new, fully integrated system in two phases over a three-year period, followed by an application maintenance period of five years.

The first phase will focus on upgrading the Authority’s finance and procurement capabilities with the implementation of ERP and supplier relationship management (SRM) software from SAP.

The second phase will feature the implementation of additional SAP modules to provide support for the Estate Maintenance division. When fully deployed, the new system will support more than 8,000 Housing Authority users.
