As part of our wider digital transformation programme, we have now completed Phase 1 of NEC Integrated Housing Management System (IHMS).

Why did we replace the existing system?

IHMS has replaced the Saffron legacy system which is more than 20 years old and is no longer able to meet the Council’s legislative and statutory obligations.

The new system will comply with legislative changes, provide a more flexible and user-friendly solution for employees, allow the Service to achieve its long-term strategies, realise income growth potential, ensure value for money, provide Service efficiencies, and offer an enhanced service for customers and tenants.

Phase 1 of the new IHMS is due to go live on Friday 8 November 2024 and will include the following modules:

  • Rents
  • Estates
  • Allocations (inc. Homelessness)
  • Housing Advice
  • Support Services
  • Reports
  • Letters
  • System Administration.
