Using Business Objects Business Intelligence
systems to ensure that performance and management information
continues to be rapidly deployed to Managers and Senior Leaders in
Children and Adults Social Care.
Option D Implement Business Objects from a new
procurement
This would mean
•Statutory obligations would be met
•Management and performance information would be provided to
Managers and Senior Leaders and OFSTED
•Oldham would be compliant with PSN
•A barrier to the delivery of the ICT Strategy would be
removed
•There would be no need for any significant investment in
training as it is software that is current being used
•The upgraded version of Business Objects could be used to
report from the Education System Synergy which would improve the
access to Management Information
•It is potentially possible for the Business Objects to be
used for reports from other database systems
•Oldham would retain rights to future upgrades of Business
Objects which would be supported by a robust contractual
arrangement
