New 'Technology One' Financial Management System - Coming Soon! A new system called Technology One, or ‘T1’, will completely replace our current financial management system from 8th October 2018, introducing common and more efficient business processes and working practices across the 3C councils (SCDC, Huntingdonshire and Cambridge City). As a result, we'll be introducing new processes that will affect all staff involved in managing budgets, buying goods, raising and processing invoices, and we are currently delivering training sessions to ensure that we are well prepared for this. We will also be contacting all of our suppliers in the lead up to go-live to make clear what we need from them. Our number one message will be that from 8th October all invoices will need a valid purchase order. We will therefore be asking that suppliers request a purchase order before the provision of goods or services takes place and any subsequent invoice is sent. We will also be requesting that all correspondence, including the provision of invoices, takes place electronically to help our efforts to introduce more efficient, paperless processes. If you have any questions, please contact Alex Colyer.
