Subject: Paula Vennells meeting with DT this morning
James/Amit/Manu,
Duncan met Paula Vennells this morning to discuss the role of Horizon in POL’s future strategy and the IPR issue.
As part of that Duncan shared the contents of his brief inc;
- Horizon is an invested and stable platform
- Very low cost per transaction
- Second sight has shows it to be safe, secure
- Benchmarked
- we have an industry littered with disasters of service outages, programmes taking twice as long as planned
with massive costs where organisations have replaced systems like this eg RBS, Coop, Nationwide etc

There was quite a lot of discussion around this and Paula said...”that all sounds good but why do my team tell me that
working new reference data through the system take a long time and the platform is not agile”.
DT as part of his de-brief to Paul Patterson and myself asked that we produce some information for Paula (in easy to
digest language) that would talk about;
- where the current system is addressing these issues eg Horizon Anywhere/Horizon Business Services, batch
re-engineering and
- where the evolve strategy will address this further
He would like if possible to ‘strike while the iron is hot’ by getting a short summary of this back to Paula by the end of
this week.
Could we please produce no more that 2/3 of a side of A4 which summarises this?
I’m not sure if this is a difficult task or not but as you will appreciate we have to respond to this with some urgency
and the story needs to be good.
View on how hard, how long and who can own please?
regards,
Mark
