Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System
Client agencies of DTF Shared Services conduct finance, human resources and procurement transactions through a central Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System.
The ERP has been built on the Oracle eBusiness suite of products by a consortia of Oracle Corporation Australia Pty Ltd and ASG (Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd.
This system replaces the current diverse range of Finance, Human Resources and Procurement Management Information systems delivering essentially the same support services to agencies.
The move is aimed at standardising, simplifying, aggregating and automating corporate services in the Western Australian government, to deliver savings which can be redirected to priority areas of government.
The various components of this system are listed below:
Finance
The Finance suite is composed of a number of modules including:
- Fixed Assets
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable
- General Ledger
- Cash Management
Many of the processing activities associated with these modules will now be handled by Shared Services on behalf of client agencies.
Human Resources
The HR related modules are being implemented in a staged manner. Areas include:
- Human Resources
- Payroll
- Recruitment
Procurement
There are currently two Procurement modules available for agency use. These are iProcurement and Oracle Purchasing. Agencies will be responsible for managing their own purchasing needs using the tools provided by the Oracle e-Business suite.
