The Queensland Public Trustee has entrusted management of its electronic records to Hewlett-Packard in the first deal signed under the state government’s new tender system established earlier this year.

HP has sealed a contract with the Public Trustee to provide its HP Trim electronic records management software to 500 users under the terms of a whole-of-government electronic document records management systems (eDRMS) tender.

HP was one of three vendors selected to provide software to Queensland under the contract, which the company claims will deliver a number of key benefits to the Public Trust Office, including improved knowledge and information sharing leading to improved decision making, ability to implement basic workflow processes, enhanced security controls, including user and system access controls, improved access to information and reduction of information duplication.

According to HP, the Public Trust Office has selected various products from the TRIM portfolio to support compliance with the Public Records Act 2002 and the Information Standard 40 (IS40).

Queensland’s Public Trustee is the largest public trustee in Australia with more than 15 offices throughout regional Queensland.
