- Daniel Okafor 1 Jun 2026 09:37Dear Craig, I hope you are well. I am the customer success manager for Calderbrook's brain, and I work with Helen and her team day to day. Your current term runs to 1 Sep 2026, so I would like to find half an hour with you in the next couple of weeks to talk about how the renewal might look. I know you are looking at the wider data platform, and I would value hearing your view before I put anything in front of you. Could you let me know a couple of times that would suit you? Best wishes, Daniel
- Craig Oduya 1 Jun 2026 12:02Daniel, Thanks for the note. The contract is being reviewed against the platform strategy. We're building that capability in-house on our existing Microsoft estate. That work is not complete. I can give you thirty minutes. Before then I'd want a clear view of the terms: notice, data export, and what's our exit position? Please send those across ahead of the call. Craig Oduya, Director of Digital and Data
- Daniel Okafor 1 Jun 2026 14:41Dear Craig, Thank you, that is clear and very helpful. I will pull together the notice terms and the data export arrangements from the executed order form, and I will send them to you before we speak. Because the brain runs inside your own Snowflake account, the data stays with you whatever you decide. I will set that out so you can see it in writing. I will come back to you tomorrow with two or three time options for the call, in the second half of the week if that suits. Best wishes, Daniel
