The Finance System - Business World requires a
review to ensure it supports the organisation without the need for
specialist intervention. This will take a period of time and to
prevent issues stopping it's use we need specialist support to the
day to day running of the service. Managed Application Service from
U4 has been used extensively and will fit the need allowing
internal resources to focus on the long term development.
The cost of this service is £2,900 per month and it is
envisaged that we would need a contract for 25 month to enable work
to be undertaken. This would total £72,500.
To prevent the system failing.
Do nothing has been considered but we are at
risk of the system becoming unfit for purpose.
