II.1.4) Short description
The Platform One vision is to automate and link business capabilities with appropriate levels of integration, balanced against business flexibility and agility.
Currently PHG runs 2 housing systems, both Capita Open Housing solutions but configured very differently, it is critical that the end solution involves just one system. Both legacy companies have a number of different systems and other workflows.
The main objectives of the project are:
— enter the right data once and use many, rather than key and re-key into multiple systems,
— provide a standard supportable solution using out of the box functionality as far as practical rather than bespoke,
— enable easy access to business information and reporting (self-administration),
