Netcat short listed for Asia Pacific ICT Awards for Transforming Legislation Publishing

Sydney 13 June 2007. Netcat.biz, (www.netcat.biz), the leading Australian owned content management software company, has been short listed for the Asia Pacific ICT Awards for its Legislation publishing project at the Department of Family and Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (www.facsia.gov.au). Netcat won the 2007 iAward for Best Software in Government for this solution.

The awards will be presented in Singapore on 29th November 2007.

 

FaCSIA required a Web Content Management solution for the on-line publishing of policy Guides and Acts of legislation. The solution had to offer the ability to manage massive numbers of MS-Word documents, to dynamically transform these into Web format, update over 2 million links and have a friendly and intuitive user-interface.

 

“Netcat’s transformation technologies were a key factor in their selection”, said Bruce Wren, Netcat CEO.  “FaCSIA are responsible for an enormous range of legislation and policy guides, and need absolute confidence that their constituents are operating from the most up to date information. Prior to installing Netcat, FaCSIA had significant resources dedicated to maintaining over 100,000 word documents and manually updating over 4 million links. Netcat transformation technologies converted these 100,000 documents in a matter of days and updates all the links every time any content changes.”

 

“We are delighted to have been short listed for this award” says Wren. “This is recognition that not only did we develop the best software solution for Government in Australia in 2007, but that we now have the opportunityto be recognised as the best in the Asia Pacific region.
