Core supporting digital infrastructure is maintained on a ‘break fix’ basis, where only broken components are fixed and maintained as necessary. This leads to significant downtime and regular failure of core applications supported by this infrastructure A program of regular lifecycle refresh, upgrade and enhancement is maintained on all core infrastructure. Patching, standards and definitions are maintained and kept up to date, and all core technology is supported on a pro-active and monitored basis
