Decision details
Repurpose of ARP Budget to Fund Major CRM Upgrade
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Permission is sort to repurpose existing CRM
related ARP budgets (C0168, C0047, C0060) in order to fund the cost
of moving to the latest version of our current CRM system.
Existing ARP funding will be necessary to fund the shift from our
present on-premises configuration to the latest cloud based
platform. This will deliver to the council the most up to date CRM
platform available and ensure that we are able to continue to
support our Corporate Priorities. In addition, it will provide
clearer direct sight of associated revenue costs, reduce future ARP
funding requirements, and remove the need for significant
additional medium term investment.
Decision:
RESOLVED
1. That Cabinet approve the replacement of the existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
2. That in order to fund the new CRM system £50,000 of existing ARP funding is repurposed.
