Description: The Hera programme will deliver a single integrated Finance and HR system (using the Oracle Cloud platform) for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office following the merger of DFID and the FCO. It builds on the former Atlas programme in the FCO, but has been substantially reshaped to incorporate former work from DFID and to meet FCDO requirements. Hera is an essential part of a wider FCDO Transformation Programme and will enable the new department's finances and structures to be fully integrated in line with Ministers' objectives. Hera will also help deliver government strategy for providing shared services in the UK and overseas for Partners across Government.
