Mr. Dave Walsh:

The Plean-IT system is basically the major transformation of our entire IT system. We have replaced a very outdated and non-digitised system with a new case management system that has been operational since October 2017. The original Plean-IT project which, was conceived in 2014 and procured in terms of consultants in 2015, was designed as a four-year project but the additional functions provided to the board relating to vacant sites, strategic housing and other elements required extensive additional work to be done on what was originally the prime system. We are now in phase 2. Of the three elements that were identified as the priority deliverables under the project, we have a case management system that is working and functioning. We have been blessed that the system has been stable and operational during the Covid-19 pandemic because all our staff have been able to connect in from home when they are remote working and maintaining it.
