Case Study: Southern Downs Regional Council

By choosing TechnologyOne’s SaaS+ Enterprise Asset Management, Southern Downs Regional Council will be able to optimise the performance of their assets, manage projects efficiently, and make informed strategic asset decisions to fulfil their long-term infrastructure objectives.

“The community will benefit from a streamlined, transparent asset management program which will provide visibility over future and current capital works. The improved system capability and functionality will provide our community with a better understanding of our current asset management practices including project management, services level, and response times resulting in increased value for money and satisfaction,” said Mr Singh.

“SaaS+ manages project risk through quantified scope, outcomes and approach, which is very important to our Council. For a project of this size, we rely on many staff to dedicate their time, and if there is any scope creep or delays, this can have a significant impact on the overall operations of our Council, with those staff needing to extend their involvement and not focus on their regular duties. As has been experienced in the past, a delayed or failed project can have a negative impact on culture and morale, and more broadly discourage use of the products or participation in future projects,” said Mr Singh.

“With TechnologyOne managing the project risk through SaaS+, this will minimise any chance of delays, scope creeps, budget blowouts and in turn save money for our Council,” said Mr Singh.

“For Southern Downs Regional Council, SaaS+ delivers the project faster and because we are able to use the system much sooner than the traditional time and material implementation methodology, we can use the product and therefore the data sooner. This accelerated window of time could mean the difference between an entire budgeting cycle, enabling us to realise financial benefits a full year earlier than if using the time and material methodology,” said Mr Singh.

By adopting TechnologyOne’s SaaS+ Enterprise Asset Management, Southern Downs Regional Council is gaining a system that will enable them to manage everything from day-to-day operations to long-term asset planning, using one holistic view to increase asset life, reduce risk and build operational efficiency into their entire asset lifecycle. They are also getting faster return on investment with SaaS+, and minimising their risk when it comes to the project.

“We are looking forward to implementing SaaS+ Enterprise Asset Management in 2024 and seeing all the benefits it has to offer come to fruition,” said Mr Singh.
