Intranet Queries

The request was successful.

Dear Judicial Appointments and Conduct Ombudsman,

I am writing to make a request for all the information to which I am entitled under Freedom of Information Act 2000. My requests are outlined below as specifically as possible to help you retrieve the information required. However, if any of the below is unclear, I would appreciate if you could contact me as I understand that under the act, you are required to assist requesters.

Please could you provide the following information:

1) How many employees are working for your organisation, including full-time, part-time, and contracted staff?
2) What is your annual intranet budget?
3) What is your current intranet solution? (e.g. Invotra, Sharepoint, Kahootz, Umbraco)
4) How long have you been using this solution, and when does your contract expire?
5) Do you work with an external partner to supply your intranet? If not, do you develop your intranet internally?
6) Which team/individual is responsible for managing your intranet internally?
7) Which other organisations have access to your intranet?
8) Do you share IT services with other organisations?
9) Are you using the Office 365 suite? If so, which applications from the suite are in use?
10) Who is responsible for your intranet’s procurement within the organisation?
11) Do you use Microsoft’s Active Directory to manage your people data? If so, is your Active Directory (AD) managed on-premise or in the cloud?
12) Do you use any other Software as a Service (SaaS) applications? (e.g. Atlassian/Jira, Slack, Trello, Xero)

If possible, please could you present the inflormation via a Microsoft Word or Excel document, sent to me via email. I understand that under the act, I should be entitled to a response within 20 days and therefore I would appreciate if you could confirm receipt of my request.

Yours faithfully,

Louis James

Dear Mr James

Thank you for your email. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

As requested I have considered your request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Section 1 of that Act creates a general right of entitlement whereby a person making a request for information to a public authority (which includes this Office) is entitled to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request and, if so, to have that information communicated to them. Please find attached, in the format requested, this office's response to your request for information..

I hope that the information we have been able to identify is helpful. If you would like an Internal Review of this decision please write to Mr John Critchfield, Head of Office, at the address at the end of this email. Thereafter, if you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to apply to the Information Commissioner’s Office for a decision if you are unhappy with the outcome of your request under the Data Protection Act 1998. The Information Commissioner’s Office is at Wycliff House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely
