The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) relies on a range of enterprise and operational systems to support core business functions across schools, districts, and departmental operations. Several of these systems are aging, approaching end-of-support, or no longer fully aligned with evolving business, operational, and regulatory requirements.

In parallel, new services and programs continue to be introduced, creating the need for new digital solutions that can support emerging business processes, reporting requirements, and service delivery models. These initiatives often require rapid analysis, clear requirements definition, and effective coordination to ensure solutions are scalable, compliant, and integrated within the broader application landscape.

Over time, changes in service delivery models, legislative and privacy obligations, integration expectations, and user needs have increased the complexity of managing and modernizing systems.
