FS Core Operating System - Project Update
The Forensic Services Core Operating System (FS COS) Project will deliver a fully integrated & future- proofed single operating system, the migration of all data for in-scope systems and the decommissioning of un-supported legacy systems as required.
- The project is currently tracking red due to the recent confirmation that the original target date of June 2024 for delivery of the FBC is no longer achievable.
- Recent workshop sessions with partners have been very helpful in articulation of the complex interdependencies impacting the FBC build allowing for shared understanding and agreement at the most recent project board.
- Activity is now focused on drafting a revised timeline for FBC build which will be subject to further scrutiny and challenge through Project Board discussions.
- Prioritisation and confirmation of the final timeline must consider risks associated with current system which is no longer fit for purpose and negatively impacts service delivery.
The interdependencies of delivery of FS COS, successful implementation of our Operating Model and realisation of associated op model benefits must also be considered when determining the project timeline.
