Government will want to be assured that the project is performing to specification and within budget and timetable. Budgeted and expected expenditure are the same.
(7) The following benefits are expected to be gained from implementing the HMS:
- significantly improved access to and accuracy of critical human resource
management information on a whole of government basis, leading to more
effective and efficient management and application of the staff resources of the
ACT GS and consequent contribution to efficiency dividends required by the
Government in future years;
- improved human resource administration services to staff and management;
- substantial net cost reductions in the administration of staff in the ACT GS.
(8) Yes.
(9) Yes. The impact on staff levels is not yet clear due to the need for organisational change and revision of work flows. A recent estimate of net benefits in 1991-92 prices of approximately $3.5 million to the end of the 2000-01 financial year was provided by consultants Stanton Partners. The benefits are expected to exceed the costs in the sixth year of full implementation.
(10) The HMS is regarded as a critical management system which will permanently support the Governments better management policies for the ACT GS. The HMS software package itself has an estimated life of 10 years.
(11) The only other option is to continue with the current inadequate manual systems. This is not acceptable to the Government due to their high cost and the lack of key management information. The HMS will provide significantly improved facilities and strategically important management information while realising substantial net cost reductions in human resource administration in the ACT GS.
(12) Yes, other than reports which contain commercially confidential information.
