Challenge:
Kent County Council was burdened by a 23-year-old legacy ERP system that was unsupported, expensive to maintain and posed significant audit and compliance risks. The system's complexity turned testing into a bottleneck, with manual processes consuming months of effort and delaying crucial service improvements for its 1.6 million residents.
SIM Solution:
SIM provided independent, client-side leadership for the complete migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud. This included managing the system integrator, driving a best-practice "adopt, not adapt" methodology, and deploying the proprietary Testify AI platform to fully automate the testing process. As KCC's CIO noted, SIM provided "advocates working for us, not suppliers selling to us."
Client Benefits:
The complex transformation was delivered on time and on budget — a rare achievement in public sector ERP programmes. With Testify, testing cycles were reduced from months to minutes, operational risks were eliminated and skilled staff were freed from repetitive tasks to focus on high-value activities. SIM’s independent advocacy ensured KCC’s interests were always the priority, resulting in a modern, compliant, and efficient platform built for the future.
