The main financial management system in my Department is the JD Edwards system. Three other tailored financial management systems in my Department (dedicated to Gaeltacht/island grants; payroll; and travel/subsidence payments, respectively) are interfaced with the JD Edwards system for the purposes of both payments and reporting, so as to provide an integrated accounting package.

Details of the providers and the annual maintenance costs (excluding ad hoc in-house maintenance performed as part of normal day-to-day duties, as required) are shown in the table below.
