User Authentication and Authorisation is a vital embedded component of our services, ensuring that our Customers are able to access the Services. Ripple, MOSRS and SODA currently use OpenAM (recently renamed to Access Management) for Authentication and Authorisation functionality underpinning key safety of life services.
Replacing it would require significant development resource to investigate the architectural and technical changes and then move to an alternative solution - if one could be found. As this would simply replace a like-for-like service on a deprecated system it would not represent the best value for money, and it would utilise resources currently allocated to essential lifecycle activities.
The proposed single year contract means we can then review our usage levels as Ripple may be retired during the contract period. SODA and MOSRS may still require this support but this requirement would be assessed by the applicable team nearer this time.
