Post Office Limited: 2017 Credence Upgrade

The request was successful.

Dear Post Office Limited,

In April 2017 a report was issued on a Credence upgrade led by Mick Mitchell and Rob Horton. It indicates that in the prior three months stability of the system had been increased, substantially reducing the known incidents and outages which POL experienced for at least the previous year.

Please can you release this report along with any reports of the preceding 18 months which identify the issues POL was experiencing with Credence, including risk assessments of their impacts, their mitigations and reasons why the 2017 upgrade was postponed on more than one occasion..

Yours sincerely,
Eleanor Shaikh

Dear Information Rights Team,

Thank you for your response of 10th February 2021. I have reduced the scope of my request and trust that the effort of tracking down a single document will not take anyone at Post Office more than 18 hours:
