Estates Systems Optimisation Programme seeks to improve Estates business functions through Business Transformation of Systems, Processes and Roles.

- Systems will be reviewed and refreshed, moving from a large number of small-scale, single-use systems, to an integrated, designed model of multi-use systems, consolidating the numbers of applications and partners used.

- Current and Future processes will be analysed and documented to enable functional design and technical workflows 

- Business-as-Usual models including Target Operating Models and role profiles will be defined

Full 'whole-life' Total cost of Ownership solutions will be defined based on IT best-practise, such as Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITILv3) to ensure endstate solutions are reliable, supportable and maintainable as ‘Business-as-Usual’ services.

The Systems Optimisation programme will have a small number of large-scale multi-year projects.  Projects will consider improvements to systems, processes and team capabilities where necessary and agreed.
