West Midlands Police’s Digital transformation
project achieves a significant cloud milestone
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 Cloud applications 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.”
