Oracle's examplar win over SAP for Birmingham City Council is 3 years late
Birmingham City Council's ERP overhaul to replace SAP with Oracle has required £20 million additional spending and is three years late, a meeting heard last week.
The ERP project was reviewed in 2019, 2020, and again in 2021,"when a council had to allocate an additional £20 million to the cost of Oracle, doubling the cost and writing down a £16 million loss of savings, due to delays," he said. "We understand from officers Oracle is still not fully working despite already being almost three years late,"In 2021, Oracle CTO and founder Larry Ellison held up Birmingham City Council as an exemplar of big wins for Big Red as it supposedly took business away from ERP rival SAP, the German software giant.
"It is the first major change of IT system the council has undertaken for almost 20 years and it is not unusual for the implementation of such systems to encounter difficulties. It is clear that there is more work to be done," he said.
