Given its limited funding sources, Scottish Water must improve efficiencies to make cash available for new services.
But with an outdated, overly complex ERP system, the organization found it a challenge to efficiently provide financial information. For one thing, its heavily manual processes resulted in a lack of confidence in data, making it hard to drive productivity and service improvements.
Scottish Water conducted an end-to-end review of operations to cut costs and fundamentally rethink the business. That review led the utility to choose Oracle ERP Cloud to run its critical back-office functions.
By insisting on zero customization of its Oracle Cloud applications, Scottish Water ensures that regular updates are simple and that its processes are integrated and scalable. As a result, the utility has shortened its order lead times significantly, reduced customer complaints, and boosted overall customer satisfaction levels.
