GovERP Finance Solution

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Finance solution developed originally as part of GovERP is hosted on S/4HANA on Services Australia’s Private Microsoft Azure Cloud, but could be copied and hosted on any equivalent cloud solution. 

An existing Infosec Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) report is in place and held by Services Australia. 

Integrations with the GovERP Finance solution have been built into SAP SuccessFactors for the Human Capital Management (HCM) design. However, integrations have not yet been built or tested for other tools. 

Within GovERP, solution components in the Budget to Report (B2R) value stream and Revenue to Bank (R2B) value stream are utilised to implement the ERP Finance capability and associated business functionalities.
