Impact
Priority and Funding
- This is a Compliance project
- Core funded under a 3 Year RIS Programme, the estimate for this project is 50 days.
Impact and Dependencies
- There is a dependency upon the existing Core Systems and the interfaces with the Pure application. It should be noted that with a wider project to replace the Core Systems during the upgrades of Pure there will be an impact on work that will be undertaken due to interfaces having to be redeveloped. This is outwith the scope of this project and will be completed by the Core Systems project.
- These upgrades will ensure that vendor support is maintained for a central system, as well as receiving new features in support of funder and government requirements, such as the new REF return.
- There will be new features within each upgrade therefore consultation with Research Administrators, Researchers, Directors of Research, Library Services and Governance and Strategic Planning (GASP) will be required.
