If 75% of these invoices were produced and managed electronically a saving of $647,000 per
year could be achieved. Against this would be an annual merchant bank expense of
approximately $500,000 leading to an estimated annual saving in the region of $150,000.
In addition, moving into the online world will allow for a significant number of related
membership transactions to be made available providing further value and benefit to all
stakeholders. These transactions could include lawyer change of contact information, Trust
Safety annual submissions, requests for member reports and certificates of standing.
The Director, Business Technology will sponsor the project with business managers forming a
project steering group to ensure direction, schedule, cost and benefits reflect business
requirements.
The risk of not providing these online services is the continuing lack of effective and efficient
business processes and a lack of confidence from the public and lawyers as we insist on the
continued use of traditional paper based processes.
Collaborative Technologies
During 2015 the use of collaborative technologies and services will continue to be extended
providing Benchers, volunteers and staff with access to common file stores, shared workspaces
and enhanced mobile services.
In addition, a number of business application developments will be undertaken to improve
operational effectiveness and efficiency. These developments will be centered on our financial
systems, the internal and external web sites, SharePoint and improvements to accessing and
using information through tools such as BoardBooks.
Moving forward, we will continue to streamline and coordinate the collaborative tools and take
advantage of the functions provided to ensure Benchers, volunteers and staff can work together
in the most effective manner possible.
