Business Transformation

Tanzania Country Office - 2024 Annual Report Update In 2024, the Tanzania Country Office continued to leverage best practices established in previous years, particularly through the adoption of the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Quantum. Quantum replaced the former ERP, Atlas, and has significantly enhanced financial and donor reporting by providing real-time processing capabilities. This system has streamlined operations, improved accuracy, and increased efficiency in management and reporting processes. Additionally, the office further optimized the use of the UNall travel module, which transitioned the preparation of official missions and travel requests from a paper-based approach to a fully systemized process. UNall has continued to transform travel management by improving timelines and simplifying the process from travel requests to bank transactions and approvals. Both Quantum and UNall have reinforced operational efficiency, ensuring transactions and requests are processed more quickly and accurately, reflecting the office’s commitment to continuous improvement in systems and practices.
