Unit4 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. Find out how we helped Quartzelec Ltd with their upgrade and migration to Unit4 Cloud.

Cloud readiness

However, before you start that journey, remember that moving to cloud isn’t always as straightforward as you might think. We’ve outlined some of the things you need to consider in our recent blog.

More clarity, less risk

If you’re ready to take next step, our cloud readiness assessment will give you the confidence to move forward with your migration. By providing clarity over what’s expected of you (beyond just the costs), and you can de-risk the project before it even starts.

Invest now, save later

As well as task transparency, we want our customers to have full transparency of the cost of migration. We’ve developed our cloud readiness assessment to cover four key areas, but the programme is modular, meaning you only take the services that are relevant to you. Then, if you go ahead with the migration with our team, the investment you’ve already made will be offset against the cost.

Unit4 Cloud Migration Assessment (CMA)

Have you done your Unit4 CMA yet? This is the first step and provides you with important insights into your current Unit4 solution environment. If not, we can support you through that process, but if you’ve done the assessment already, our team will provide expert, in-depth analysis of the output and can feed that into our readiness assessment.

Further down the road?

If you’re ahead of the curve and know what need but perhaps don’t have the capacity to do it or the specific skills that you need, our team can help. 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. Quartzelec Ltd had already decided to make the move to Unit4 Cloud but engaged Embridge to help them upgrade and migrate as they didn’t have the skills in-house – read the case study.

  • Long-term cost savings without hardware and maintenance costs
  • Reduced risk with high standards of security, compliance and data privacy

  • Take advantage of the latest updates and innovation with minimal disruption or downtime
