About
Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to IBM UK Ltd for investigations into the legacy DLACS system used by DLA Child.
The system, based on Cobol code, poses near-term risks due to its ability to support required system changes, inadequately documented business processes, and a large codebase that challenges staff training, debugging, and adaptation to new legislative requirements.
The contract value is AUD 278,230.
