NewCore project remains on
course
Auckland Council’s NewCore IS project remains on track, according to the latest quarterly report on the project.
The NewCore Project Update submitted to the Finance and Performance Committee shows NewCore is now 44 per cent complete, matching the target set in November 2014.
The project budget is also on target; with an actual spend of $30.4m within the approved $46.7m budget for the year.
Auckland Council COO Dean Kimpton says that he is pleased with these results and is confident the programme will remain on-time.
“This second quarterly report confirms we are continuing to make good progress and that we remain on track against budget and programme targets,” he says.
Council’s new Chief Finance Officer Sue Tindal was also welcomed onto the project Executive Steering Committee.
Some of the key projects currently underway include:
·
simplifying and standardising the customer and business
processes for customer interaction, rates, regulatory
services and related property data,
· enabling
more effective development of digital solutions for
customers, providing more choices around how they can
interact with the council,
· consolidating core
customer-facing systems that support those processes.
