Cloud Migration

With the announcement that Unit4 have decided to transition Unit4 ERP, Unit4 Financials by Coda, and Unit4 FP&A to being fully Cloud-based solutions, many on-premises or non-Unit4 cloud customers will be considering the next steps, including a cloud migration.

As a long-standing Unit4 Elite Partner, Embridge has the skills and knowledge to support you with your migration to cloud.

However, there may be things you need to consider before you start that journey, including:

Cloud readiness

Have you done your Unit4 Cloud Migration Assessment yet? The process provides you with insight into your current Unit4 solution environment and can begin to help you find the best way to make your move to Cloud. If not, we can support you through that process, and, even if you’ve done the assessment already, our team will provide expert, in-depth analysis of the output.

Active integrations

If you have existing integrations with your Unit4 solution, will they portable to Cloud or will they need to be re-architected or even re-imagined? Whatever the integration, our experts will be able to advise on the best route.

Existing customisations

Do you have any customisations within your Unit4 environment? Depending on what they are, the job they do might be performed by standard functionality in the SaaS product, or they might need to be rebuilt using new tools such as Unit4’s Extension Kit. Regardless of the complexity, our experts will be able to guide and train your team, or do the work for you.

We can provide a variety of services, designed to work wherever you might be on your transformation journey. Our team will ensure you don’t hit any unexpected bumps in the road and, any obstacles that we do encounter, we can help you navigate them effectively.

So why cloud anyway?

There are several reasons to make the move to cloud:

• Reduced risk with high standards of security, compliance and data privacy
• Business continuity ensured with built-in disaster recovery and access to additional resources on demand
• Take advantage of the latest updates and innovation with minimal disruption or downtime
