Objective toast NZ government win
Objective Corporation has netted a major deal across the Tasman, having been awarded a contract to supply an electronic document and records management (EDRM) system to one of New Zealand's largest government departments, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).
Employing around 5500 people, the MSD provides strategic social policy advice to the New Zealand government and social services to more than 1 million New Zealanders.
The MSD sought an EDRM system to meet its statutory requirements, its best practice aspirations for information management, and a solution to leverage its records, information and knowledge to provide improved social outcomes for New Zealanders.
The system will be deployed across eight business units in the national office, situated in Wellington, and will be used by 850 staff to support both the MSD's policy development activities, its research projects, the process of responding to parliamentary questions and its administrative functions such as Human Resources, Finance and Information Technology.
It will also provide the MSD with the ability to manage information flows electronically within its business processes as well as offer a secure repository for National Office information and records. Additionally, it will help the MSD meet its statutory recordkeeping obligations, as laid out in a range of government Acts.
Objective is also doing rather well in the government sector on this side of the ditch, having recently had its Integrated Document Management System (IDMS) selected by the ACT Government as its standard DM system.
Tony Walls, CEO Asia Pacific for Objective, said the deal would aid the company's growth. "The contract with MSD represents an important milestone in Objective's expansion in Asia Pacific."
