Ownership

Any NSW Government agency can own a Core or Common SDA. Appropriate ownership is reviewed when an asset is endorsed as a Core or Common SDA.

Appropriate ownership considers:

• the capability of the proposed SDA owner by assessment of the SDA Criteria (Appendix B)
• other potential digital solutions that could be the Core or Common SDA
• funding and cost recovery models for the SDA.

When ownership transitions from a project delivery team to an operations team:

• the operations team requirements must be included in the SDA project scope and commercial contracts. This includes consideration to the operational team ways of working, tools, and capabilities.
• the project development team has full accountability for ensuring a smooth transition including obtaining the operations team acceptance for the transition.
