Synergy Programme Technical Assurance

The Synergy Programme has recently secured a System Integrator (SI) to support the Cluster to transition to a new SaaS platform, enabling the 4 cluster departments to transform their back-office functions. The SI is currently in the process of being onboarded and will be expected to move at pace. This is due to the pressure to exit the existing SSCL contract and the need to realise financial benefits.

Capgemini are a trusted technical assurance provider with prior knowledge of the Synergy Programme as they are already providing services to the Synergy Programme with respect to the technical aspects. Capgemini have been providing such services since February 2023. Further work is required to support the engagement with the SI/ERP providers who are currently being onboarded. This engagement will consist of three statements of working covering key areas of focus, namely: data and security; technical architecture, and delivery management of the future shared services organisation.
