TechnologyOne Expands SaaS Presence in the UK

TechnologyOne has signed an agreement with London's Royal Borough of Greenwich in a move aimed at expanding its footprint in the UK software market. However, its efforts to compete with major players such as Oracle and Workday may increase the pressure on its ability to deliver rapid deployments.

The Brisbane-based enterprise software company, listed on the ASX with a market capitalization of $13.25 billion, is steadily gaining traction in the UK public sector. The addition of its second London borough as a client highlights the growing appeal of its fixed-cost SaaS+ model among councils seeking to modernise operations without cost overruns or timeline issues.

TechnologyOne provides enterprise resource planning software to sectors including government, education and healthcare. Its position in the UK has been strengthened by the well-known failure of a costly Oracle-led project at Birmingham City Council, where budget overruns ballooned from £19 million ($39 million) to more than £130 million. These issues have pushed attention toward more agile and cost-efficient alternatives like TechnologyOne’s platform.

Greenwich was attracted to the promise of an ERP system rollout in just 30 days, which contrasts sharply with the multi-year implementations typically seen from rivals. Unlike traditional models where software vendors rely on third-party implementers, TechnologyOne manages the entire process. This ownership reduces risks for customers, eliminates costly consultant delays and allows budget-constrained councils to achieve more while improving services.

The successful deal with Greenwich reflects a broader shift among UK boroughs toward leaner and AI-enabled IT infrastructure over traditional ERP solutions. With more than 50 UK councils already using its platform, TechnologyOne continues to build trust and grow market share by delivering rapid outcomes and reducing risk. Continued success will depend on its ability to scale effectively while maintaining performance under increasing demand.
