What the notice says
The Council is currently implementing Unit4 ERP Cloud and will be decommissioning its existing Unit4 Business World (on-premise) environment. As part of this transition, not all historic data will be migrated to the new cloud ERP solution. The Council therefore requires a secure and sustainable approach to retaining, accessing and managing legacy Unit4 Business World data for statutory, audit, financial reporting, Freedom of Information and investigative purposes.
