Funding of 100 days for STU253 is confirmed. This removes Risk 7.
Funding for upgrade to PURE confirmed in 17/18
New university search engine deployment funding is also confirmed in 17/18.
Planning can now progress and take into account the dependencies on the outcomes of the PURE upgrade and search engine projects - as there is no hard end date for this project this should be achievable.
