The Council is implementing a new Integrated
People Solution that encompasses adult and children social care
with associated portals and financial and education management.
This will replace key systems such as Carefirst, Liquidlogic and
Capita One. The support contract for Liquidlogic ends 31 October,
2018 and no alternative arrangements were made given they are one
of the leading suppliers and therefore submitted a tender for the
integrated solution. Children's Social Care is due to go live
initially in June 2019 but the associated portals will take longer
and there are issues such as data archiving to sort out. Also, as
with all business critical technology implementations there are
many risks around this programme of work, the biggest being data
quality and migration. Therefore it makes sense to build in a
sensible amount of contingency with regard to support for the
current system.
