Objective selected across the Tasman
Oct 26, 2005: The New Zealand Government's Crown Company Monitoring Advisory Unit (CCMAU) has selected Objective Corporation to provide an enterprise content management solution to enhance information management over its whole organisation.
The CCMAU monitors the Government's investment in companies owned by the Crown by reporting on company business plans, performance against targets and sector trends. It provides performance and governance advice to shareholding Ministers on strategic issues, investment and diversification opportunities, and the impact of government policy.
Objective will replace the CCMAU's existing system, providing users with access to all information from a single repository and improving information management throughout the unit. It will form the foundation to support business processes through the capture, use, management and storage of information and will be used by everyone at CCMAU.
"During the evaluation process we saw a number of systems that were so vastly different to the way we work, Objective wasn't." said Mr Murray Wright, executive director of the CCMAU "There was no point in implementing a solution if people weren't inclined to use it. A key measure of success with Objective is that everyone wants to use it and it's flexible for our purposes."
Objective will underpin the CCMAU's internal quality assurance process by preserving the integrity of both physical and electronic documents and records as well as supporting many of the agency's crucial business functions.
"In addition to improved information management at an organisational level, the strategic benefits provided by Objective are significant" added Mr Wright. "By enabling us to retain a corporate knowledge store, Objective assists knowledge transfer for new staff and provides a complete and accurate history of past advice, establishing precedents for future advice"
