“The general public is our primary concern, we strive for excellence in customer service, and continually challenge everything we do in order to improve our services,” said Mr MickJaensch, Director Corporate Services, Greater Dandenong City Council.

“Implementing Objective means we will have global access to knowledge that is currently inaccessible because it is within personalinboxes or physical files in offices. This is a real efficiency gain for the organisation. We will have transparency and immediate access to complete information across all levels of the organisation, allowing for more informative and accountable decision-making,” said Mr Jaensch.

Introducing an ECM solution into the business is a massive cultural change for us, so we are putting a lot of effort into involving staff throughout the entire process,” said MrJaensch.
“The software’s ease-of-use, strong search functionality and integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook were all seen as key elements to encouraging user uptake by our staff evaluation panel.”
