IBM is providing the overall Trace solution that has been launched and is already deeply integrated and embedded within systems. Due to the critical nature of the Trace programme, it would not be feasible for another supplier to provide these additional roles and adding another contractor to the mix would leave the solution open to disruption. IBM's personnel have the required expertise as to the solution and as IBM is a re-seller of Salesforce licences under the contract."
