— introducing greater flexibility about changes to organisation and reporting units and
— introducing enhanced task management to improve day-to-day operational control.
Initiatives progressed will be in accordance with the detailed solution requirements as determined at the solution planning phase. It is a requirement that the corporate instance of the application be upgraded by the end of September 2019. The corporate instance will continue to be hosted “on premise” after this planned upgrade. Hosting of some or all of the application instances may be moved to the cloud at some point over the duration of the contract and this will be determined in due course.
