My Department uses one financial management system — the FMS. This was supplied by Progressive Systems Enterprise which was acquired by Version 1 in July 2006. Version 1 maintain the software. In 2007, the cost of software maintenance for the live and backup infrastructures was €44,866. My Department reviews and updates this system as requirements demand.
