Enterprise content management provider, Objective Corporation (ASX:OCL), has won a deal to provide an electronic document and records management system to be used enterprise-wide by the newly formed public sector agency, The Corruption and Crime Commission of Western Australia.

The Commission was established to investigate allegations of misconduct by Western Australian police officers and public officers including officers employed in Local Government. It also conducts education programs with State Government departments, Local Government and the community, to increase the awareness of misconduct and how to counter it.

The Commission handles high volumes of documents and records and will use Objective to manage a range of information such as
interview transcripts, video and audio media, and exhibits tendered as evidence. It is vital that the Commission is able to trace, track, store and receive data in a timely manner.

Objective will replace existing legacy systems from other organisations with the aim of delivering consistent electronic document and records management and facilitating effective information management across the Commission. It will be implemented throughout all directorates within the Commission from Corruption Prevention to Business Services and Operations.

Vanessa Grant, director of Business Services, Corruption and Crime Commission said: “The solution needed to be easy to use in order to be readily accepted by our staff.

“A critical element of Objective’s solution is the availability of a comprehensive, easy to use search facility that allows the Commission’s information and records to be easily located and displayed at the desktop through a single access point,” she said.

Strategically, Objective will underpin effective information management and knowledge sharing, operating as the core
information repository for the Commission.

“Objective will be implemented as the foundation for all other corporate systems. Following the implementation of Objective, the Commission will roll-out its HR, Finance and Case Management systems, all of which will be drawing upon and contributing back to our central enterprise information repository.

“The chosen solution needed to be able to grow with the Commission and be flexible in order to comply with future regulatory and statutory requirements,” said Grant.
