Meeting the growing challenges facing Local Government

With recent aggregation and consolidation of Local Government, the provision of community services is coming under much greater scrutiny. Not only have Councils had to deal with the complexities of amalgamating people and resources, but State Governments, ratepayers and auditors are demanding much higher levels of accountability. Obviously to achieve these management information requirements Local Government needs an efficient IT infrastructure that covers its entire operations. Xpedite has taken a holistic approach to Local Government Community Services with its City Manager range of software.

The suite of software encompasses aged care and disability services including delivered meals, maternal and child health, family day care, preschool enrolment, resource facility bookings, long day and occasional care, youth services and immunisation. Importantly, all modules of the City Manager suite integrate with each other and with Councils core financial systems.

“We are totally committed to evolving the City Manager Suite to keep pace with the rapidly changing needs of Local Government,” said Michael Holden, Xpedite’s Managing Director. “For example, our products are currently being enhanced to cater for the Victorian Department of Health Services Primary Care Partnership Initiative.

“Another key issue addressed by City Manager is demographics. Now more than ever before, Local Government needs to understand more and more about the people who are receiving community services so they can determine the most effective allocation of resources not only for today but into the future. City Manager provides sophisticated reporting functionality to meet this information need.”

For further information on City Manager, contact Michael Holden on (03) 9690 9155.
