The Senior Leadership team, Senior User team and Subject Matter Experts in SMBC worked tirelessly and pragmatically with their Version 1 counterparts in a \u201c2-in-a-box\u201d approach, that ensured that both parties had Subject Matter Expert (SME) coverage for each functional area.<\/p>\n<p>SMBC understood that an implementation such as this could not be \u201cdone to them\u201d but rather required it be \u201cdone with them\u201d. The project team brought their respective expertise and knowledge to the project and delivered a robust system including 5 payrolls. Following a successful go-live, the service has transitioned seamlessly into Version 1\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.version1.com\/aspire-managed-services\/\" >ASPIRE Managed Service<\/a>, which will enable continuous innovation from Oracle\u2019s SaaS Suite, supported with continued close collaboration with SMBC business SME\u2019s.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis has been a successful implementation in so many ways and the whole team involved in its delivery should be very proud of what has been accomplished. For Version 1, it has been an absolute pleasure working with SMBC. Their Senior Leadership team are \u201call in\u201d and applied a level of governance that is second to none. Their Project Board members are dedicated, passionate, committed and engaged.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Alison Headley \u2013 Version 1 Delivery Director for Public Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis project was a huge undertaking for the Council but with the expertise and support from Version 1 we have been able to successfully accomplish what we set out to.
