There is a cloud-based system which will be the successor of Horizon legacy (from 1999) and Horizon online (from around 2010).

>Is Horizon still being used? >Yes. There have been several versions of Horizon since its introduction in 1999 and the current version of the system, introduced from 2017, was found in the group litigation to be robust, relative to comparable systems. But we are not complacent about that and are continuing to work, together with our postmasters, to make improvements. We will be moving away from Horizon to a new IT cloud-based system that will be more user-friendly and easier to adapt for new products and services. This is currently being developed with the involvement of our Postmasters.

This kind of comment (not your actual comment) shows the pitifully simplistic people making crucial decisions in UK public IT. On prem vs off prem has nothing to do with this yet cloud is phrased as a key tenet of improvement. I suppose give it a few years it'll be described as "LLM ready" too.
