Finance / HR Systems (388A/24)

Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act, please could I request the following information:

1) Please advise what systems (including date of implementation) you use for the following services:

Name of system Date of system implementation
Finance
Payroll
Human Capital Management (HCM)
Duty Management System (DMS)

2) How much is spent on the systems per annum (i.e. the financial year 6 April – 5 April)?

2022/2023 2023/2024
Finance
Payroll
Human Capital Management (HCM)
Duty Management System (DMS)

3) Please advise if the management of these IT systems are outsourced to third parties, and if so, when does the contract end?

Outsourced or managed in-house? If outsourced, name of organisation outsourced to Contract end date
Finance
Payroll
Human Capital Management (HCM)
Document Management System (DMS)

 

AMENDMENT

 

I want to clarify my request as a mistake was made in my original FOI. As you may see, in the first two tables DMS has been referred to as “Duty Management System” which is correct, however in the third table DMS is referred to as “Document Management System”. Please ignore this as this was a mistake on my part. Please provide information only for Duty Management System.
