The City of South Perth has begun an eight-year digital transformation project with the implementation TechnologyOne’s OneCouncil SaaS solution.

Replacing its on-premise legacy systems with OneCouncil provides the City with a single, integrated enterprise software solution that will be used by staff across all levels. By drawing upon a single source of truth, the City will experience operational efficiencies and quicker response times for its community.

City of South Perth CEO Geoff Glass said the first phase of the project focused on delivering significant internal improvements, digitising the City’s financials, supply chain, payroll and asset management practices within the first year of the partnership.

“We are conscious that we are operating in a society experiencing rapidly changing expectations for how services are accessed and delivered,” Mr Glass said.

“By the third year of this project, we will be in a very good position to meet these expectations through the delivery of excellent digital services, accessible by our customers online anywhere, anytime.

“We are well on the way to becoming a more innovative, responsive and agile local government.”

TechnologyOne now has more than 20 OneCouncil customers in Western Australia.

More than 73 per cent of the Australian and New Zealand population live in a council powered by TechnologyOne.
