In a world that is becoming ever more digital, organizations must become more dynamic to respond to ever-changing customer demands and market uncertainty. Unit4’s Cloud Migration program enables its existing on-premises ERP, FP&A and Unit4 Financials (U4F) customers to evolve their application environments and realize the competitive advantages of moving to SaaS-based systems.
Customers benefit from streamlining business processes and driving interoperability between applications, to create the agile foundations needed to become more digitally enabled and thrive in unpredictable market conditions. With a single view of all the data within an organization, Unit4 customers can be confident they are making accurate decisions that will help to drive sustainable growth and accelerate productivity.
Unit4 also recognizes that moving to the Cloud is a journey which can be complex unless it is properly planned and implemented. To aid its customers at every stage in the “land, adopt and expand” cycle of moving to SaaS applications, Unit4 launched Success4U. It is designed to help customers identify the right migration path and speed up time-to-value while minimizing disruption to essential business processes.
