South Australia Dept of the Premier and Cabinet

Based in Adelaide, the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) is the principal government agency in South Australia, a state with about 1.5 million people. Cabinet Office, a division of DPC, supports the implementation of South Australia’s Strategic Plan, coordinates and advises on policy development, and has overarching responsibility for federal-state relations. In preparing Cabinet Submissions and Notes and the associated policy briefings for the Premier and Ministers, Cabinet Office handled a massive amount of paper. For example, thirty (30) copies of a normal Cabinet Submission were required, together with the original, in a Cabinet Submission file cover. Twenty-three (23) copies in the case of a Cabinet Note. This paper circulation caused missed deadlines and security breaches. DPC issued a tender for a “Electronic Cabinet Online (ECO) Project” to develop a system creating a paperless environment for Cabinet proceedings. DCP selected BizFlow^® BPM and OfficeEngine^™ from HandySoft as the foundation for the ECO Project. Now all policy development and case management for 40,000 government employees runs through BizFlow.
