Unit4 ERPx partners for people-centric sectors

LinkedIn marketing for Unit4 partners

Agresso and Business World became Unit4 ERPx, and public sector, nonprofit and university buyers judge partners on sector knowledge. We show yours on LinkedIn through posts we plan, write and design for UK and US readers.

A Unit4 ERPx migration post for LinkedIn, ‘Moving to Unit4 ERPx?’, paired with a ‘Unit4 ERPx migration readiness’ carousel, a review panel confirming the ERPx terminology, and an organic impressions chart for the month.

“I just wanted to share that I’ve been really impressed with the work Alex is producing for several of our UK partners. The approach around multi-touch, multi-channel campaigns and the focus on more targeted, high-quality content is clearly delivering strong results.”

Who it's for

For firms serving people-centric organisations on Unit4

Unit4 partners sell, deliver or extend: go-to-market partners widen Unit4’s sales reach, service delivery partners implement and support, and product partners build. We write for whichever you are.

Your buyers

Finance directors; HR and payroll leads; University finance teams; Local and central government; Charities and NGOs; Consultancies and professional services firms

Service delivery partners

Implementation, integration and support, including moves from Agresso or Business World to ERPx.

Go-to-market partners

Selling Unit4 solutions as an extension of Unit4’s own sales organisation.

Product and innovation partners

Extensions and integrations, such as grant management tools that connect to Unit4 ERP.

Finance and HR specialists

Practices focused on Financials by Coda, FP&A or HR and payroll rather than the full suite.

A Unit4 partner tells three stories at once, and one of them is aimed at factories: ‘Digital transformation for manufacturers’ on the stand, ‘Your trusted partner for every ERP project’ on LinkedIn and ‘Unit4 ERPx migration specialists’ in the deck. Red crosses mark the disconnects.
The problem

When Unit4 partner content loses its sector voice

Three problems we keep finding, each one from a real client engagement.

1

Posting happens when someone has time

No cadence, no content plan and no quality control.

2

Every channel tells a different story

LinkedIn, sales collateral and event materials say slightly different things, so your delivery strength never comes through.

3

Technical buyers tune out marketing

IT directors and senior decision-makers are wary of anything that reads like a sales pitch.

What we manage

Sector-led LinkedIn for a Unit4 practice

One team plans, writes, designs, publishes and reports, so your consultants stay on delivery.

01

A content plan for each sector you serve

ERPx moves, grant and project accounting, public sector finance and the HR and payroll work you deliver.

02

Writing from consultant interviews

We interview your consultants and write the posts. Nobody on your team has to draft anything.

03

Design: carousels and visuals

Carousels and graphics designed to a professional standard, with optional video where it adds value.

04

Publishing and reporting

Scheduling, a monthly report and a quarterly review of what to change.

The problem

Strong delivery and IFS expertise weren’t reflected in the firm’s marketing. LinkedIn, sales collateral and event materials told slightly different stories, and there was no publishing schedule, approval process or reporting.

What we'd write about

Unit4 topics for public, nonprofit and services buyers

A proposed set, ready to change. A university-focused partner and a consultancy-focused one would rarely share more than the first idea.

1

From Agresso or Business World to Unit4 ERPx

What changes when a long-standing customer moves to the cloud-native platform, and how your consultants plan for finance, HR and projects.

2

Following a grant from award to audit

How a nonprofit tracks budgets, spend and compliance in Unit4 ERP after the award, with pre-award work handled in GrantsNow.

3

Buying ERP through public sector frameworks

How UK public bodies buy cloud ERP services through frameworks such as G-Cloud, and what that means for scoping a project.

4

Time, projects and billing in one place

How a professional services firm links timesheets, projects and invoicing in Unit4 ERPx, explained by the consultant who configured it.

How it works

Your first 90 days

Your consultant signs off every technical claim before anything goes live.

1

Kickoff and consultant interviews

We learn your services, your buyers and the projects worth talking about.

2

Content pillars and the first month’s calendar

You approve the plan before anything is written.

3

Writing and technical sign-off

Your nominated consultant checks the technical claims in every post.

4

Publishing at the agreed cadence

Set by your scope. One ERP consultancy we work with posts twice a week.

5

Monthly report and quarterly review

What moved, what to change and next quarter’s topics.

Content calendar headed ‘This month on LinkedIn’ for a Unit4 partner, with ‘Unit4 ERPx migration readiness’ scheduled first and a customer story still drafting at the bottom; a sign-off card holds another post for the Unit4 consultant.

FAQs

Unit4 questions to settle first

Answered honestly, before your first call.

Our customers still say Agresso. Should our posts?
How do you write for public sector buyers without breaching procurement sensitivities?
Can you write for nonprofits, universities and consultancies in one calendar?
We specialise in Financials by Coda, not the full ERPx suite. Does that matter?
Do you post from our directors’ profiles too?
We sell Unit4 FP&A alongside ERPx. How do we reach finance teams that still plan in spreadsheets?
