Statement re IT Platform
CPPGroup Plc: IT Platform Update
As announced in its interim results on 18 August 2016, CPPGroup
Plc (CPP or the Group) is currently redesigning its operating
structure to create a more cost-effective and flexible platform
that is focused on serving the future needs of the Group. This is
intended to enable the Group's strategy of developing new products
and services that answer customer needs and concerns and deliver
them increasingly through digital and mobile channels.
As part of this, CPP recently completed an in-depth review of
its current IT arrangements and likely needs over the coming years.
The change in product and service focus drives a change in the
Group's IT requirements. As a consequence, CPP has informed SSP
Limited (SSP), its current IT development partner, that it intends
to develop its own IT platform which will be built on its existing
systems and be more relevant to CPP's customers and its suite of
products and services and also support the Group's growth
internationally.
This change in IT approach will give rise to a one-time
write-off of capitalised expenditure of approximately GBP6.5
million, together with a cash payment that is currently being
finalised with SSP. This payment will be met from the Group's
existing financial resources. The operating and financial benefits
of this change are important to the development of the business and
will accrue from 2017 and beyond.
