To implement a new system would require a project to be initiated to manage the change. The project would require further business analysis, application engineering, solution architecture and data architecture resources to support the change to a new supplier in addition to any business change endeavours to embed the new solution. Currently, technical resources have been prioritised to IT and digital projects contributing to enable the authority to meet current financial challenges. To change provider at this stage would be uneconomical and technically unviable."
