ECM solutions vendor, Objective Corporation has been appointed to the Queensland Government’s Whole of Government arrangement to provide electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS) across the entire government.

Objective is one of three vendors appointed to the arrangement which will run for three years.

Objective CEO, Tony Walls, said today the company already had a long track record of successfully delivering process and collaboration management solutions to the public sector, and a range of customers across Queensland local and state government were using Objective, including Queensland Police, the Port of Brisbane Corporation, Powerlink and the Townsville Port Authority.

Walls says the Whole of Government Arrangement allows agencies in Queensland to maximise
the benefit they obtain from their corporate applications and reduce the cost associated with purchasing, implementing and maintaining them.

“Increasing demands are placed on government to respond to citizens requests more efficiently. To meet these demands, government agencies need solutions that support business processes and information management across diverse and often distributed groups of people with significant demands for accuracy and performance.”

Walls, CEO says Queensland is an important market for Objective, with the company employing a dedicated experienced local team in its Queensland office, including recently appointed local government industry solutions manager, David Schultz.

“Our industry experience combined with our knowledge of local Queensland issues provides our customers with solutions that enhance information sharing across agencies, improve public sector effectiveness and efficiently. reduce costs of business processing and ultimately help government deliver better services to the community at a lower cost.”

Walls said Objective was also featured on the Western Australia and South Australian government’s
preferred supplier panels for the provision of EDRMS and the company was an approved supplier on the NSW Government Information Asset Management (IAMS) panel.
