IDM July/August 2004
Mission
critical condition
The healthcare industry in Australia is undergoing a massive transformation.
Technology will play a crucial part in this evolution. Stuart Finlayson
talks to some of the people who are helping to shape how Australia
and New Zealand's healthcare will be administered and delivered
in the future.
Managing
a corporate monolith
Streamlining the records management processes of Australia's largest
publicly listed company was never going to an easy task, but as
Telstra's Sandra Hinchey attests, a home-grown software company
made it seem so.
An uphill struggle
Government organisations know effective digital records management
is an important goal, but progress remains slow despite a wealth
of technical standards and philosophical momentum.
Keepers
of the Kiwi heritage
Archives New Zealand ensures the preservation of - and access
to official records relating to almost every aspect of New Zealand
life. Matt O'Mara, project manager and senior records manager at
Archives NZ, discusses the organisation's recent undertaking to
ensure the preservation of some of the country's most important
documents for future generations.
"Open"
for business
As major corporate and government agencies continue to focus on
the cost of enterprise IT, new organisations are rising up to meet
the demand for open technology. Open Frameworks is one such new
provider of open standards-based and open source infrastructure
software to enterprise customers.
Life
as the lead elephant
In the first of two reports from this year's SAP Sapphire Asia-Pacific
user conference in Brisbane, David Braue finds SAP's hierarchy rather
nonchalant about the ongoing takeover battle raging between its
two main competitors in the business application software market.
