Combining Unit4’s next-generation, people-centric ERP platform with Embridge’s proprietary implementation accelerators, Business Transformation as a Service [BTaaS] delivery model, and deep sector expertise, this alliance is poised to transform how finance and HR functions operate across UK public sector, spanning Local and Central Government, NHS Trusts, Higher and Further Education and Emergency Services.

Recognised by Unit4 as their Global Service Partner of the Year 2025, Embridge Consulting has worked closely with the AI-powered ERP software leader since 2015 and during this time has secured elite partnership status for six consecutive years in both the Commercial and ERP service categories, while also achieving the highest tier for the Unit4 FP&A solution.

Having established a new, emotionally intelligent ‘elastic’ approach to change, designed to help business transformation adapt, stick and scale, Embridge boasts a proven track record of success - supporting 17 digital transformation projects underpinned by Unit4 solutions within the last two years alone. This includes high profile transformation programmes such as the implementation of Unit4’s flagship product ERPx at the University of Liverpool and the successful ERP go-live at Devon County Council which was shortlisted as a finalist at the Public Finance Awards for Digital Finance Project of the Year 2025.

As Unit4 accelerates its growth across Europe with a clear ambition to become a European software champion, and Embridge recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-growing transformation consultancies by Consultancy UK, this partnership introduces a new gold standard in public sector ERP implementation - guaranteeing a single, consistent standard for delivery that adheres to best practices, streamlined procurement, and a cohesive experience from initial engagement through to ongoing optimisation.

Becoming Unit4’s exclusive public sector reseller for the UK marks an exciting milestone for Embridge. For more than a decade, we’ve worked incredibly hard to show the impact of digital transformation for the public sector through our holistic and expandable approach to market with a proven track record of success.

This agreement formalises what our clients have already experienced – a unified team focused on sector-aligned, outcome-led transformation. We are proud to be Unit4’s ‘go to market’ partner for UK public sector ERP and are now focused on accelerating the pace of transformation for public sector organisations across the UK.

The Embridge team have consistently demonstrated their exceptional capability to translate technology into real organisational impact, underpinned by deep expertise, proven methodologies and a strong commitment to customer success. In forming this new exclusive reseller agreement, we are confident that it will enable Embridge to bring the full power of Unit4’s people-centric, AI-enabled solutions to public sector organisations with greater speed and simplicity, while enabling our team to focus on continued innovation.

Effective ERP implementation in the public sector demands more than technical competence. It requires deep sector knowledge, disciplined change management, and a delivery model built around organisational readiness rather than technology deployment alone. Exclusive partnerships like Unit4s and Embridge’s – where a specialist implementation partner co-develops sector-specific delivery models alongside the software vendor – don’t just reduce risk, they accelerate the path to value.
