Government Customers Funded to Deploy MS Solutions

Four government agencies have been awarded a total of $320,000 in the September Microsoft Deployment Funding round.

Working with Intergen, the Ministry of Fisheries have gained $100,000 to implement a spatial data warehouse that will create and deliver a Web Reporting Tool that deploys more than 750 layers of geospatial maps on the Internet using SharePoint 2007.

Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) was also awarded $100,000 to deploy MS CRM, Exchange and Outlook. LINZ has a vision to establish relationship management capability and systems to proactively identify and manage customer needs. However, their existing system does not provide the ability to achieve this vision. A service provider for this project is yet to be confirmed.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has gained $80,000 to work with Prophesy Ltd to build and deploy an Integrated Reporting Framework based on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence, Data Warehouse, Analysis and Reporting Services. This solution aims to turn disparate data stores into unified knowledge and would use a combination of SQL Server 2008, Windows Server 2008, .Net Framework 3.5 and Office Performance Point Server.

Finally, Waikato District Health Board (WDHB) will be working with Axon to deploy System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) as a monitoring platform that will increase their operational efficiency. This solution will provide the DHB with greater visibility of system issues as well as enhancing their ability to provide better service to their customers. Further, the Operations team will have concise information available to them on the state of all monitored systems and problem resolution will be more efficient, reducing system downtime. This agency was awarded $40,000.
