The project covers preparatory work for the new core system, focussing around getting confirmation during fit/gap sessions with the vendor that the assumptions and statement of needs etc. covered by FTP001, FTP002 and FTP008 are all achievable with the new core system.  The detailed design sessions, which will come later in 2019, will expand on the these documents and add the detail required for implementation.

• Where assumptions/statement of needs are not achievable investigate the potential issues this causes.
• Identify any potential 'benefits' from the OBC that may not be fulfilled.

Also investigating ‘areas still to be defined’ such as:

• Internal Trading and inter-company transactions
• The treatment of Research Overheads
