Sustainability Report 2006/07Upgrading information technology
A key element of optimum business performance is delivering information technology systems that improve efficiency, manage information and data, and provide robust, reliable service.
Our Information Technology Strategy includes development of an IT asset management plan, secure storage through data warehouse services, upgraded SCADA system capabilities, upgrades to the desktop operating environment, electronic document management and an expanded telecommunications microwave network.
We completed the first phase of Livelink, an electronic records management system project, which has replaced the existing paper-based records management system. Introduction of mobile computing capabilities has enabled more efficient work practices for key water and sewerage operations people, and new data communications services have been provided to Melbourne Water locations including Mt Waverley, Warburton and Maroondah.
