Verbal Update from the Chief Operating Officer.

The Committee received a verbal update of the Chief Operating Officer concerning the ERP Programme.

The Chief Operating Officer informed the Committee that the ERP Programme had been in discussion for several years and was an area where the Corporation could make incremental benefits. However, a transformation change was necessary to drive benefits and efficiencies to unlock the potential of Corporation staff. A solution for the programme was aimed to be attained by January 2023 with an aim for the ERP solution to go live in April 2024 which will engage the entire organisation.

In response to a question raised by a Member, the Chief Operating Officer informed the Committee that over time, third-party support for Oracle would become impractical and more expensive, however, at present it was not an immediate risk.

RESOLVED – That, the verbal update be noted.
