Supporting the NHS for over a decade

SAP and NTT DATA deliver modern cloud-based platforms to streamline Finance, Procurement, Logistics, Warehousing and other back-office process for NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Systems. 

Watch a recent webinar from the HFMA Annual Conference, supported by Channel 3 Consulting, One Devon and University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust

The Darzi report highlights key themes for the Government's 10-year health plan, focusing on improving productivity across trusts through better operational management and staff empowerment. NHS organisations are working toward 5–11% efficiency targets, but CFOs know that achieving sustained savings within individual trusts is challenging. To meet recovery and reform targets, Integrated Care Boards need to integrate services, workforce, and platforms for more efficient operations.

Matthew Jones (Channel 3, Partner), Bill Shields (One Devon, Deputy Chief Executive & Chief Finance Officer) and Julian Miller (University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust, CFO) explore how regional shared services can address challenges and promote sustainable, region-wide solutions.

The session also provided an opportunity to discuss the benefits of shared ERP platforms in balancing local pressures with opportunities for regional productivity gains. Attendees were invited to join the conversation on how these solutions can support long-term improvements across the NHS.

Introduction to ERP

Benefits of ERP

  • A single source of truth so that you can understand the current position of your organisation.
  • Analytical overviews that enable users to quickly get an understanding of current events and processes, with drill-down capabilities to get to the bottom of emerging problems.
  • Optimise reporting and analyse data in the way that best suits you and drill-downs to navigate the end-to-end process and improve performance.
  • Maximise business visibility and control, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and predict and prevent risk.
  • Management of the spend processes, from requisition to purchase order, and goods receipts and invoice receipts, to inventory.
  • Guided buying integrated through to suppliers to increase accuracy and speed of the buying process.
  • Embedded onboarding services and access to over 5.5m suppliers with the SAP business-to-business network.

ERP definition

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning, but what does ERP mean?

The simplest way to define ERP is to think about all the core business processes needed to run a company: finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, services, procurement, and others. At its most basic level, ERP helps to efficiently manage all these processes in an integrated system. It is often referred to as the system of record of the organisation.
