April, 2004 ::
Wombat Technology has been working closely with the City of Stonnington
to deliver a centralised view of corporate information for council
employees through the implementation of the WombatView Enterprise Search Server solution.
Stonnington City Council is one of Victoria's leading local government organisations with over 400 employees servicing some of Melbourne's most prestigeous inner eastern suburbs.
The WombatView Search Server provides every employee in the council with their own personalised view of all the content with which they have security permissions to access in the council.
For the first time, any and every employee has the same ability to use appropriately secured [against their permission profile] information to help them with their day to day work function.
The WombatView Search Server scans content from the councils' various File Servers, Lotus Notes databases, TRIM document management system and a number of SQL databases to produce a searchable Index.
Internal council users then access the search function via an Internal Intranet address linked to their Intranet and have search results returned to them against their security permissions from any and all of the data sources across the council
Some of the areas of counci'sl activities profiled to improve include:
- reduced rework
- less time searching for information
- speedier response to FOI requests
- more comprehensive use of council information
The WombatView Enterprise Search Server complements existing council IT Infrastructure and offers a simple tool that delivers greater value from their existing investment in data resources.
