Move from Oracle put back until December following delays to Workday rollout
The UK Treasury will not say whether it will join the government's £1.7 billion finance and HR transformation strategy until December despite funding the program for five years. Savings from the so-called Matrix cluster of the shared service strategy are contingent on a bunch of departments – including His Majesty's Treasury (HMT) – adopting cloud-based finance and HR software from Workday. To do so, HMT would have to migrate from its customized version of Oracle Fusion.In a letter to a parliamentary spending watchdog, Jerome Glass, director general for the Future Civil Service at the Cabinet Office, said that following delays to the cluster's rollout of the new software, HMT's decision on whether to join had been put back.
The Matrix cluster is led by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and includes the Cabinet Office (CO), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Department for Business and Trade (DBT), Attorney General's Office (AGO), Department for Education (DfE), Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), as well as HMT.
