THE Army’s intranet domain is vying with other Government competitors for the annual Government Technology Productivity Award in Sydney in September.

The award is part of the National Technology in Government Conference, which presents case studies of technology-related projects and initiatives.

Acting SO2 C4ISREW-A Capt Gregory Novak said the work on the Army intranet, instigated by Maj David Hanzl and completed during the past three years, was an excellent example of effective content management and use of custom software.

“By using content management software and implementing sound web-presence policies, the Army transformed its intranet presence from an ad-hoc and unregulated environment to a well-structured and tightly managed standardised domain,” he said.

New versions of the software have been incorporated that provide greater functionality and reliability, and the number of unit-developed and maintained sites continues to grow.

The conference will run from September 16-17, in Sydney.
