Unique World - SharePoint Solutions Portfolio

Sheppparton Council

The Client

Greater Shepparton City Council in semi-rural Victoria employs more than 500 staff who manage the needs of about 60,000 citizens. The technology department consists of three technicians, a systems administrator, three records management staff and an IT manager.

The Challenge

The council had implemented a document management system that many staff found difficult to use. As a result, information was stored in multiple locations outside the document repository, and staff were frequently not using complete or accurate information when dealing with customers or new projects.

The Solution

The council installed Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server as an interface for multiple content sources, including the document repository and network storage drives. Microsoft Gold Partner Unique World Software provided TIPS SharePoint to integrate SharePoint with the document management system.

The Benefit

Giving staff access to the most accurate and complete information
Improving efficiency and reducing risk
Making the most of existing technology investments
Becoming more agile through the use of innovative technologies

FEATURE PROJECTS

FaCSIA

In March 2006, FaCSIA merged with the Office for Indigenous Policy Coordination (OIPC). The OIPC coordinates and implements Indigenous policies under FaCSIA. OIPC faced challenges in collecting and maintaining information on its projects across Australia. Without a single repository for information, OIPC was unable to exercise effective version control or document management capabilities. This made it difficult to generate accurate and timely reports. The OIPC needed a solution that would allow it to share and manage information and track projects across multiple locations in a structured and efficient manner.

WorkCover

The current WCA Intranet site was developed in the 1990s and was in need of an upgrade. WorkcoverNSW required Unique World to work in partnership with WorkcoverNSW to deliver the Intranet with significant attention devoted to design and usability of the new Intranet.

Austrade

Austrade were looking to replace their current SharePoint 2003 and a number of other systems with a single SharePoint 2007 environment. For Austrade it was very important that current information could be migrated to SharePoint; that they could achieve integration with Microsoft Office applications and that there was business value across the organisation by using integrated portal technologies. Austrade realised through internal analysis and comparison of the products, that a SharePoint Portal was going to empower their staff to collaborate, publish and discover documents quickly and easily across their global organisation.

Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism

A new department created after the 2007 Federal election the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) required a website to publish information about the Department's policies and programs.
