Report for November 2019 by Ken Miller

Achievements

Work on overall implementation plan in conjunction with Fivium to schedule resource.
Continue internal process regarding case migration to the replacement eCase.
Procurement and Legal both approved project to progress to contract review.
Fivium drafting initial G-Cloud call-off contract prior to review.

Issues

Delay in procurement process is delaying fully engaging with Fivium in the technical aspects of the transition process. Project has now been re-assigned to our third UoE procurement contact this year.
Overall project delay will mean that the milestones need to be revised once implementation plan has been agreed.

Next Steps

Progress with Procurement and Fivium regarding contract review and sign off.
Work on overall implementation plan in conjunction with Fivium to schedule resource.
Engagement with Fivium regarding case migration process to the replacement eCase.

RAG Commentary: The project as a whole has progressed more slowly that planned.
