The University is required to upgrade its Corporate Planner (CP) software and its supporting infrastructure. 

An upgrade would allow the University to continue to make use of the functionality in the Corporate Planner Enterprise product until the new Core System is deployed.

The Corporate Planner System provides data for Management Information (MI) reports required for the University's Full Economic Cost (FEC) and Transparent Application to Costing (TRAC) returns. In addition, the tool is used for budgeting and planning, known internally as the Transparent Model (TM).
