The City of Moreland, a local government area in metropolitan Melbourne, has selected a cloud erp solution from Australia’s Open Office. The project which encompasses Finance, Payroll, Human Resources and other associated modules, will be implemented in the next 12 months.

The evaluation emphasis was on the “strategic and customer centric”, rather than any one specific single point of minor operational functionality. Council also expects to achieve major cost savings by adopting an established Cloud solution.

Moreland Council will partner with Open Office to implement the modern business solution which will provide many opportunities for internal process and workflow improvements and efficiencies in both time and cost.

The City of Moreland was created in 1994 during the forced amalgamations of local governments by the Kennett Government, being created from the former local government areas of the City of Brunswick, the City of Coburg and the southern part of the City of Broadmeadows.

Established in 1990 and with over 400 government customers across Australia, Open Office offers a suite of government solutions with the Community Enterprise suite which encompasses Finance, Payroll, HR, Property/Rating, Asset Management, Environmental Health Management, Building/Planning, Compliance modules, Customer Request Management System and mobility applications.
