- The project was developed on Microsoft Azure AI infrastructure and integrated with the council's existing Liquid Logic LCS case management system. The proof-of-concept demonstrated significant benefits but faced some technical hurdles. Future development phases may include data refresh, data matching, LiquidLogic form integration, and auto-redaction capabilities. [Source]
