two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The core objectives for Microsoft 365 have been identified as needing to replace three existing projects that were already under review prior to considering Microsoft 365. The first two of these projects will create the framework for delivering future efficiencies which Southway see as their Digital Workplace, and will result in an effective Intranet and Document Management platform. In short, these initial objectives are:

Objective 1 - Intranet replacement.

Objective 2 - Document Management – General business needs.

The third requirement is an existing business efficiency project that merges well into the 365 project utilising the 365 framework to deliver more effective financial management processes across the business.

Objective 3 – Invoice Automation – Finance Process Enhancement.

Such environments could be described as many things by suppliers and customers; however, for the purpose of this tender, we will refer to Southway’s desired environment as “Digital Workplace”.
