Meeting: 28/06/2012 - Senedd Commission (Item 6)
UNO Benefits Review
Paper 6
Minutes:
At the October 2011 meeting, the Commission
was presented with a review of the benefits and savings delivered by the UNO
project and requested regular updates on the benefits achieved.
UNO
achieved its aim of separating the Assembly’s infrastructure from that of the
Welsh Government. This was a necessary and unavoidable step that has put the
Assembly in a position to be able to decide on its future ICT service provision
and ICT strategy.
Other benefits achieved include the
migration to Windows 7 and Office 2010, improved business continuity and
resilience of Assembly systems and better connectivity, particularly for
constituency offices.
Various technical issues have been resolved
but others are still being progressed, including the achievement of the Caseworker
upgrade, resolution of local printing issues and simplifying access to
applications.
Whilst acknowledging that the steps taken as part of UNO were necessary, Commissioners expressed concern about the continuing ICT problems being experienced by Members and their staff and it was agreed that officials should continue to give the resolution of these issues a high priority.

Minutes:
The Commission received an update on the
benefits and savings delivered by the UNO project. Achievements against the project’s
aims and the work to collect feedback on user satisfaction were discussed. It
was agreed that a significant amount has been achieved, but a number of
technical issues were still outstanding which were causing difficulties for
some users.
A plan to resolve these issues is in place with Atos, who
are providing dedicated technical resources to investigate and progress
solutions at no further cost to the Assembly. The software update has been
trialled with 100 users, and it is anticipated that the changes will be rolled
out to all users during October.
An ICT strategy group was created in March 2011 to consider
options for ICT provision after 2014. A detailed options paper will be brought
to the Commission meeting on 24 November.
The Commission noted the report and the measures put in
place to resolve the outstanding issues. It was agreed that there had been
significant dedication and commitment from ICT staff in delivering the project.
A further UNO evaluation paper will be brought to the
Commission in six months’ time.
Action: Officials to prepare a paper on the financial benefits of
the UNO project as part of the next progress report in six months.
