Asset Systems Review

Guinness has a requirement to appoint a supplier to conduct a review of its current systems architecture, and the current market offering, in order to develop a longer-term technology strategy and roadmap for Asset Management. The overall objectives of the systems review are: • Current State Assessment: Conduct an objective, high level assessment of Guinness' existing asset management capability - including systems, data, and processes - to identify key themes, gaps and issues to inform future-state business requirements. This is intended to be high-level overview of the current state, rather than a detailed process analysis. • Market Assessment: Provide an objective assessment of the market offering for asset management systems, evaluating the suitability and maturity of available solutions to meet TGP's business requirements, compared to the incumbent solution. This evaluation should consider, and provide a view of, development / product roadmaps and potential future status in terms of market position. This assessment should also identify key opportunities to leverage modern technology to remove manual effort • Sector Review: Provide insight and expertise on the system and technology architecture approaches being taken for asset management by comparable organisations within the UK housing sector and outside of the sector • Architectural Approach: Provide a recommended target state architecture for asset management within Guinness, considering whether Guinness' business requirements can be achieved with a single system solution, or whether the business requirements necessitate multiple, specialist solutions. This should include a recommendation of the architectural approach for managing repairs and empty homes alongside asset data and should ensure interoperability with Guinness' broader existing and target architecture and architectural principles.
