Local Governments all over Australia do good things, and one of the things they do best is create piles of information. Meeting minutes and agendas, policies, decisions, Government Acts, community directories, Council fees and charges, forms, annual reports and budgets – there are all kinds of information vital to the smooth running of a Council. Yet information is no good unless you can find it when you need it.
Finding ways to organise and utilise the copious information that Local Government generates every day is a significant challenge. Odyssey Development, an Australian software company that specialises in knowledge management and information sharing, meets this challenge with the ISYS range of powerful search tools.
The most popular ISYS products are ISYS:desktop, for network solutions and ISYS:web, for internet and intranet implementation. Many Councils throughout Australia use ISYS:web to publish, distribute and manage critical information, and disseminate it to both staff and the public.
“The internet is one of the best and easiest ways to publish information for public consumption today,” said Steve Wheatley, IT Manager for Willoughby Council in NSW. “ISYS:web is extremely customisable and easy to maintain. Best of all, visitors to Council’s web site are able to find what they are looking for quickly and easily due to the powerful ISYS:web search functionality.”
Councils also use ISYS:desktop and ISYS:web internally during Council meetings, to help quickly answer questions or supply information on previous decisions.
