Report for June 2017

Report Date
June 2017
Achievements this period
  • Complete end-to end technical build - achieved
  • Testing - achieved
  • Refine costs model and provide transparent costing for future operation - achieved
  • Explore sustainability options given better understanding of fixed and variable costs required to operate at scale - achieved
  •  
Issues
  • Separate CSE initative to effectively build own solution. Partially addressed via co-option of Geosciences onto project team and recognition that our solution and architecture is more mature and scalable. 
  • Growing expectation that a teaching ready service will be available for use September onwards.
  • Post August budget (lack of) and ongoing ITI infrastructure costs. (It was hoped that any underspend up to July could be vired into a forward spend for infrastructure for 17/18 AY but this was expressly ruled out on request).
  • Ongoing staff resourcing post August when demand is expected to be realised and potentially grow without (currently) as assured income base to support the service.
Targets next period 
  • pre-alpha testing release version 1.0
