When the Royal Borough of Greenwich announced it was moving its core operations to a modern Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, it wasn’t just a tech story—it was a blueprint for how organisations can save time, money, and headaches by leaving outdated systems behind.
According to The Australian, the council signed with TechnologyOne to roll out its SaaS+ ERP platform, aiming for a fast, low-risk implementation that avoids the kind of costly overruns seen in other local government IT projects. In a climate where efficiency and transparency are essential, the decision makes perfect sense.
But this lesson isn’t just for local government.
Private sector, same problemMany businesses—especially growing ones—are still running on clunky spreadsheets, siloed software, or rigid legacy systems. Like councils, they face slow project rollouts, costly maintenance, and a lack of visibility across teams.
This is where mutherboard steps in. Using monday.com as a flexible, centralised work management platform, mutherboard helps companies transform how they operate. The results?
Faster onboarding for teams and projects
Real-time visibility across departments
Reduced costs by streamlining workflows and removing duplicate tools
Scalable solutions that grow with the business, not against it
Greenwich Council’s move mirrors a wider trend: organisations of every size are prioritising systems that are quick to implement, adaptable, and built for collaboration. In the public sector, this means better service delivery for residents. In the private sector, it means faster growth, happier teams, and healthier profit margins.
The takeaway? Whether you’re running a London borough or a London startup, clinging to outdated tools is costing you more than you think.
