Deployment of state-of-the-art, integrated
platform is a key component of UNDP's new digital corporate
management system
NEW YORK, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Infosys Public
Services (IPS), a US-based subsidiary of global
next-generation digital services and consulting leader Infosys
(NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY), today announced the
successful deployment of UNDP's Quantum Global Digital Management
System. Quantum, based on Oracle's Fusion Cloud Applications Suite,
provides a unified and seamless platform for all UNDP business
functions including human capital management, financials
management, supply chain management and enterprise performance
management for eight agencies of the United Nations with a user
base of over 50,000 across 170 countries.
The new platform replaced all legacy systems, providing a
simplified digital landscape with features like Intelligent
Dashboards, AI/automation, and many self-service capabilities that
transform operations and the way UNDP engages with partners,
suppliers and personnel. Quantum's improved data control and high
degree of digital end-to end process integration will lead to
improved data quality and better decision support systems. In
addition, UNDP will benefit from enhanced usability and end user
adoption through a modern, multi-lingual and accessible user
experience.
UNDP's new digital core, largely enabled by Quantum, is one of
the enabling pillars of its digital transformation strategy. This
platform delivers improved results tracking, fully integrated risk
management capabilities, additional automated controls and a new
digital self-service platform for personnel, partners and
suppliers. With the new platform, many lower-value tasks have been
simplified and automated enabling the organisation to shift its
focus to more strategic tasks, resulting in a continued boost in
productivity.
Sylvain St-Pierre, Chief
Information Officer, UNDP, said, "Digital technology will allow
us to rapidly evolve with the ever-changing development needs of
people and our planet. Our previous systems were difficult to
change and often made it challenging to adapt to changing global
development needs and world events. This new digital core
represents a quantum leap forward that enables UNDP with a
modernized, integrated platform, allowing for truly transformative
digital capabilities combined with a first-rate digital user
experience. Quantum, our new digital corporate management system
implemented with Infosys Public Services, underpins a #FutureSmart
UNDP that leaves no one behind."
Steve Miranda, Executive Vice
President, Applications Development, Oracle, said, "With a
physical presence in 177 countries around the world, the UN
Development Programme operates at massive scale. Using Oracle
Fusion Applications for finance, HR, and supply chain will help
UNDP to consolidate systems and embrace automation to increase
efficiency and ultimately use less resources to deliver more value
to its global constituents. We're proud to be working with Infosys
Public Services to help UNDP optimize its processes and better
deliver on its critical global mission."
Bhanu Prasad Narayana, Interim
CEO and AVP, Infosys Public Services, said, "We have been proud
partners of UNDP since 2013 and are thrilled to have the
opportunity to move UNDP into the cloud era. Oracle Fusion
Applications provide UNDP and its partner agencies with a complete
suite of SaaS applications, and we are proud that IPS delivered the
program on schedule, with zero disruptions, even amid the pandemic.
Our comprehensive Oracle Cloud solutions and capabilities, and the
power of Infosys Cobalt offerings are enabling us to accelerate
cloud transformation priorities for our public sector clients and
help deliver exceptional outcomes."
Quantum aligns with the Digital Strategy of the United
Nations Development Programme and sets the stage for
continuous improvements. UNDP and IPS implemented the Quantum
system in line with guidance offered through Infosys' Oracle Cloud
methodology that has been implemented for several Fortune 500
organizations globally.
