Matters arising

 

Members remained concerned about the performance of some of the City of London Corporation’s IT systems and, particularly, the potential impact on the City’s cultural attractions.  Members noted that IT was the subject of on-going improvements and the Finance Committee would shortly be receiving a report recommending significant future investment.  Whilst welcoming this, the Chairman suggested that Members continue to raise the profile of IT issues within their various service committees, so their concerns could be minuted.  The Chairman of the IS Sub Committee, also a Member of this Committee, confirmed the proposed enhancements and agreed to provide Members with an update at the next meeting.
