Title: |
Audit Committee Oracle Subgroup Update
|
|
Purpose: |
To provide an update to the Audit Committee of the Oracle Implementation (previously MBOS) Subgroup’s most recent update |
The Committee is recommended to note that the Committee’s Oracle Implementation Subgroup has regularly reviewed the Council’s Oracle Implementation programme.
1.1 The Committee at its meeting in September 2021 approved the establishment of a Subgroup to provide oversight of progress with the Oracle Implementation Programme (previously MBOS Programme), seeking assurance that the programme is performing adequately.
1.2 The Oracle Implementation Programme was established by the County Council in 2019. Prompted by the expected expiry of support for the Council’s existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, SAP, the vision for Oracle is ‘to implement a suite of back-office systems that best meet the current and future needs of the Council and which provides optimal return on investment’.
Work of the Subgroup
2.1 The Subgroup met again in May 2024 and June 2024 and a summary of the meetings are attached at Appendix 1. The focus of the meetings was on the progress since the Subgroup meeting in November 2023.
2.2 The progress and key risks report from the Oracle Programme were discussed. The subgroup noted and endorsed the revised delivery approach to a phased implementation, and recognised the progress made as well as the remaining risks. The report is included at Appendix 2.
3.1 The Committee is recommended to note that the Committee’s Oracle Implementation Subgroup reviewed the Council’s Oracle programme in May 2024 and June 2024 to its satisfaction and continues to receive regular updates.
