A consequence of ZYX’s SIAM transition is that the small IT team of 5 staff within ZYXUK, who currently develop and support small stand-alone applications, are being displaced, with their roles outsourced to a new external service provider. This external service provider will provide a standardized approach to the development and B support of bespoke applications across all of the ZYX organizations It is hoped that this will allow similar requirements from different ZYX organizations to be identified a more manner
The impacted staff is expected to be reluctant to transfer to the new service provider, who is based outside of the UK and has a very different organizational culture B I he project team is concerned that these staff members may either be reluctant to pass on their knowledge of the existing applications, or may leave before knowledge transfer can take place

- C . Provide clear communication to the impacted staff regarding why the change is happening, the implications for themselves and the timescales involved. Incentivize some or all of the impacted staff to remain throughout the handover and early life support phases.
- D . Take immediate steps to embed staff from the new service provider, to work alongside the impacted staff members Initiate a coordinated exercise to ensure that all existing documentation regarding the applications is brought up to date.
