- Onboarding new functions and organisations (data migration)
- Managing attachments like images, documents and records
- Embedding spatial mapping
- Managing roles and responsibilities
- Adopting international and industry standards
- Satisfying records management obligations
The project won three awards at the MAV Technology Awards for Excellence: strategy and planning achievement of the year, Victorian achievement of the year, and Australian achievement of the year.
