NICOSIA, Cyprus & UTRECHT, Netherlands–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Unit4, a world leader in enterprise systems for services organizations,
has been chosen by the Republic of Cyprus to help standardize and
modernize its IT systems for finance, budgeting, HR, payroll provision
and pensions administration. Unit4 and its partners, Grant Thornton
Cyprus and GCC Computers Ltd, will deliver Unit4’s Business World
platform as part of an IT transformation that is vital to the Government
as a key enabler of change and financial reform and integral to its
long-term transformation strategy.

Unit4
Business World will be used by the central government of the
Republic of Cyprus, driving transparency, improved financial management
and control, and ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent local,
EU and international public sector regulations, accounting policies and
standards. It will be used by approximately 150 public authorities to
serve over 8,000 core users in both the English and Greek language,
together with some 70,000 self-service users.

‘’Unit4, Grant Thornton Cyprus and GCC Computers Ltd delivered a
thorough response to our detailed requirements,’’ said Mrs Rea Georgiou,
Accountant General of the Republic of Cyprus. ‘’Using Unit4’s modern ERP
technology, coupled with business process re-engineering, we can
automate and simplify our business and financial management processes,
saving both time and money. We’ll find new efficiencies, so we can do
more with less, and automate more administration, freeing time for
managers and employees to focus more on valuable work. In addition, our
public officials will benefit from improved visibility and access to
data supporting faster and better decisions that will improve services
to the Republic of Cyprus.’’

As well as rich functionality and user experience, Unit4 Business World
offers the Republic of Cyprus a future proof solution that is easy to
change, without the need for costly and disruptive re-programming. This
ease of use, flexibility and agility is important as the Government
plans for future growth, diversification and increasing regulatory
pressures.

‘’The ability for the Republic of Cyprus to ‘own’ change through our
fully configurable ERP platform will significantly reduce the total cost
of ownership and empower them to manage change more effectively across
all operational areas,’’ said Derren Nisbet, Regional President at
Unit4. “In addition, the shift towards self-service and Unit4’s unique
self-driving ERP functionality will simplify their financial management
and business processes and improve the user experience, maximizing
adoption of the new system among their diverse user groups.’’
