An interface, accessible from popular desktop tools, enables users to programmatically store and disseminate information to and from the Department's Executive Management Group easily and securely.

Microsoft and industry partner EDS have built this proof of concept using Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server to manage very large lists of documents and offers integration into desktop tools to ensure that it allows information to be disseminated quickly, efficiently and securely.

Microsoft Senior Consultant, Mike Seyfang explains further: “We made very clever use of the web storage system – the engine behind SharePoint Portal Server - to programmatically put information into SharePoint via a desktop tool, using the business rules stored in the Active Directory. Users are able to pull out lists of documents based on a URL query that can be stored anywhere. This technique is going to apply to anyone who wants to better manage documents in a web environment."

The solution, developed by industry partner Electus, stores all documents, minutes and agendas in the one location, allowing easy and fast access. SharePoint features built-in security as well as definable user roles which limit access to certain information. Document management features allow for versioning and approvals.
Electronic ‘read only’ copies can be archived and users are able to search for documents by date, keyword, author, resolutions etc. This means board members do not have to wade through lengthy hard-copy documents to find the information they need.

A case study is available for this project, as well as a short video describing the project outcomes.

After initial exploration, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server was chosen as a technology that could not only meet the business requirements of the judiciary and the CAA.
The solution, developed with the help of industry partner Aspect (KAZ), allows judicial support staff to draft, edit, distribute, search and store judgments easily and quickly from a single web-based environment. The solution is successful in integrating this process into a “Judicial Workbench” portal that reflects other daily tasks. Tremendous value is added to this business solution by maintaining a user-friendly interface and making use of the searching technologies built into SharePoint.

A written case study is available for this project. In addition, a short video describes the outcomes of the project.

Microsoft and industry partner Aspect (KAZ) have developed a solution using SharePoint Portal Server to provide a web-based interface into the existing physical records and electronic document management system RecFind and many other important content sources. Using this tool DHS staff can perform a full search for information in the one place, quickly and efficiently.

A written case study is available for this project.

The initial demonstration of this solution aims to speed up communication between Ministers and their Ministerial offices and to deliver information securely and quickly to the politicians on the move.

Through the Microsoft Joint Development Program, SA Government was able to evaluate MMIS as a platform for mobility solutions in government. MIIS is an important part of Microsoft’s BackOffice Platform that can enable the SA Government to deliver against key mobility strategies that underpin Government ICS.

Many things routinely go wrong in healthcare delivery and it is estimated that up to 10 percent of a hospital’s workload is consumed in correcting preventable errors. Industry partners Alcidion and Strategic Data Management teamed up in the Innovation Centre to implement a touch-screen system to target well-known preventable errors and to support clinicians as they make their decisions.
The system was successfully trialled in the Emergency Department of the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Coronary Care at Flinders Medical Centre. The outcome is a reduction in the risk exposure of patients to potential adverse outcomes, improved compliance with best practice clinical care and therefore, an overall improvement in patient safety.
The RADAR project attracted national media interest when an article describing the team’s achievements was published in The Australian and subsequently appeared on Channel 7 television.
