Cricket Australia searches for new boundaries

Verity has been selected to provide Cricket Australia with new intranet and Internet sites so staff and fans can access information immediately about new and historical developments in Australian cricket from all over the country.

Verity helps organisations to maximise the return on their intellectual capital investment. Verity K2 Enterprise (K2E) will provide one central repository for users to search for information from the latest cricket scores in Perth, to documents about future plans for stadiums in Melbourne.

Andrew Twaits, Cricket Australia's general manager of legal and business affairs said. "We sought best of breed technology for searching our web site and our internal network. As a result of our research, we concluded that Verity is the market leader in intellectual capital management and clearly the best choice for Cricket Australia.

"Using K2E provides a competitive advantage for Cricket Australia. Verity's product, support and professionalism made our decision an easy one to make."

Stephen Cottrell, the director of Verity for the Pacific, added that the sites will allow users to find what they are looking for easily, instead of having to scroll down pages of content for vital information. "The benefits for Cricket Australia include better productivity, intelligence about what is going on in every aspect of cricket throughout the nation and the ability to find what they are looking for instantly without wasting time.

"Staff can take advantage of knowledge to provide expertise when it comes to developing plans for cricket in Australia. Our software feeds into the content management system to access the wealth of this knowledge when it is required in a well presented format."

Cricket Australia will deploy Verity K2E on its Internet site in late May and their intranet a few months later. The organisation also plans to implement Verity K2E's classification capabilities on its intranet and Internet sites over time.
