Three 'n' easy for ADI

Three 'n' easy for ADI

Electronic document management solution (EDMS) provider Advanced Data Integration (ADI) is toasting its success after winning three new government contracts.

The multi-million dollar contracts are with Redland Shire Council in Queensland, City of Greater Geelong in Victoria and City of Stirling in Western Australia.

The new deals follow two large state government contract wins with the Department of Human Services in Victoria and the Offices of the Queensland Ombudsman and the Information Commissioner (OMB) earlier this year.

The local authorities and state government departments are using DataWorks, ADI’s EDMS and workflow solution that captures and centralises corporate data from documents, phone calls, emails and photographs to large format building plans and makes these simultaneously accessible to users.

City of Stirling in Western Australia, the state’s largest local government authority, chose DataWorks because they were looking for a total information system rather than purely a document management system.

Mr Lindsay Delahaunty, City of Stirling Chief Executive Officer, said that DataWorks was a sound investment that would increase internal efficiencies and service standards.

"DataWorks will be a tool that will allow us to improve our customer service while at the same time has the potential to reduce our operating costs."

The City of Greater Geelong selected DataWorks based on a range of criteria including functionality, price and compatibility with existing systems.

Peter Gould, General Manager of Corporate Services at the City, commented: "DataWorks has a long-standing and proven acceptance within the local government industry as well as integration with our other solutions such as GEAC Pathways PPR. This and its wide-ranging workflow capabilities were contributing factors for our decision."

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer at Redland Shire Council, Susan Rankin, said they chose DataWorks to provide them with a complete system that offered a centralised approach to data storage.

"A recent audit of the Council’s document management systems revealed that more than 300 separate databases were in use, prompting Council to look for a system that offered a centralised approach to data storage. DataWorks will ensure all data will be stored in a central location providing easy and instantaneous access by all staff with appropriate security clearance and full compliance with new legislation regarding document control and management."
