Vanuatu signed a five-year contract with Infor for VT878 million to modernize its financial management system. The project, valued at approximately AUD $10.47 million, will deploy Infor CloudSuite Public Sector across government operations. This new platform will replace the SmartStream system, which has been in use for over 20 years, and will integrate financial management, HR, and procurement onto one platform.
