Far North District Council (FNDC) covers a
wide area, stretching from halfway between Whangarei and the Bay of
Islands to the very top of New Zealand. While its subtropical climate is
very popular with holidaymakers, its rugged terrain and geographical
isolation make it one of the more sparsely populated district council
territories in New Zealand.
“The advice I would give to other
councils is to think outside the box. This is not just about numbers,
but business processes and a much broader tool. TechnologyOne is not
just an accounting package with reports, but a really powerful business
management tool that is easy to use.” Ian Sivyer, General Manager Finance and Business.

services to 19,088 customers. East Gippsland Region Water Corporation

"We’ve now got some great products, and if we were to do it all again
I’m sure that we would make the same decision to go with
TechnologyOne.” Robert Carlesso, Executive Manager Finance and Customer Service.

operates 26 ATMs and 9 branches between Nowra and Campbelltown, and employs

targets. Customised dashboards dynamically present budget versus actual data so
managers can see the impact of their decisions in real time, which empowers
them to respond to the changing market with more timely decisions.” Greg Parrish, Executive Manager Corporate Services.
Aptly described as ‘country living with city benefits’, the city of
Queanbeyan is only 10kms from Parliament House in the National
Capital, Canberra. With a population of over 37,500, Queanbeyan is part
of a vibrant region, which includes Canberra and the southern
tablelands.
“The driver for us was the new
integrated planning legislation; it was really requiring integrated
