Resources Skills and Cost

The majority of effort on this project is likely to come from Development Technology and the Timetabling Unit.  

Scientia will be engaged for one day's consultancy effort at a cost of £1000 per day. The business will pay this cost.

Development Team time is only likely to be required as a consequence of the upgrade causing existing configuration or University developed components to fail.  This must be reviewed as part of the recommendation.
