Starboard Systems Limited is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company that provides purpose-built cloud software to 925 parish and town councils ("local councils") for managing their financial accounts.The company is seeking funding to develop an asset management system to help address the problems faced by local councils in England.The current solutions local councils adopt are paper-based, spreadsheet-based, or rely on staff knowledge and memory. Existing digital asset management systems can be expensive, complicated to use, not sector-specific and hindered by poor connectivity and low bandwidth in rural areas.The goal of this project is to develop a new, cost-effective and user-friendly asset management system that will meet the specific needs of local councils. The system will be designed to work well in areas with low bandwidth and poor connectivity and will be more accessible and affordable for smaller councils. The system will help local councils reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and support the sustainable development of their communities.Public funds are necessary to support the development of the system as they will provide Starboard with the resources it needs to reach its business objectives without sacrificing equity and control.The project will support the growth and scalability of the business and help Starboard provide more job opportunities within the region and improve sustainability at councils throughout England.

Starboard Systems Limited是一家软件即服务（SaaS）公司，为925个教区和镇议会（“地方议会”）提供专用云软件，用于管理其财务账户。该公司正在寻求资金来开发一个资产管理系统，以帮助解决英国地方议会面临的问题。地方议会目前采用的解决方案是基于纸张的、基于电子表格的，或者依靠员工的知识和记忆。现有的数字资产管理系统可能价格昂贵，使用复杂，不针对特定行业，并且受到农村地区连接不良和带宽低的阻碍。该项目的目标是开发一种新的、具有成本效益和用户友好的资产管理系统，以满足地方议会的具体需要。该系统将被设计为在带宽低、连接差的地区工作良好，并且对较小的议会来说更容易获得和负担得起。该系统将帮助地方议会降低成本，提高效率，并支持其社区的可持续发展。公共资金对于支持该系统的开发是必要的，因为它们将为右舷提供实现其业务目标所需的资源，而不会牺牲股权和控制权。该项目将支持业务的增长和可扩展性，并帮助右舷在该地区提供更多的就业机会，并提高整个英格兰议会的可持续性。
