Tourism WA
Tourism is big business in Australia and this is no exception in its biggest state, Western Australia. Tourism WA is the organisation charged with promoting Western Australia to the world. Vital to its success is the ability of its staff to find relevant information quickly - to support internal processes or to pass information to travelers, tourism companies, other businesses and governments. Tourism WA wanted to consolidate information from a variety of systems into a single intranet and make it easier for staff to publish and update content. The organisation worked with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Dimension Data on a pilot project that trialed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as the platform for a new intranet. Independent analyst BearingPoint found switching to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 would improve internal communications, reduce staff downtime and enhance the ability of Tourism WA staff to meet compliance obligations. Having better access to information would increase staff efficiency, saving time and money for Tourism WA.
