Information Systems
The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) Shared Services and its client agencies currently utilise Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2 to conduct a range of Finance, HR, Personnel, Payroll and Recruitment transactions.
An updated version of Client Agency Desktop System Guidelines has been released to enable IT Managers and Helpdesk staff within your agency to compare your desktop environment compatibility with the Shared Services' eBusiness Centre.
Oracle currently supports the following desktop client platforms without modification:
- Windows 2000 SP1+
- Windows XP Professional + SP1, SP2, SP3
- Macintosh 10.2
Oracle does not currently support Microsoft Vista for the eBusiness Suite which uses Jinitiator.
It is recommended agencies who have already proceeded with the Microsoft Vista installation, reinstall Windows XP SP2/SP3 OS running MS Internet Explorer 6/7 with the recommended version of Java plug-in (i.e. Jinitiator), on the desktops used to access the eBusiness Suite.
DTF Information Services stresses the importance of agencies adhering to the recommended Standard Operating Environment to mitigate occurrences of incompatibility and preserve the highest standards of service delivery to our clients.
The new Guidelines have been sent out to Chief Executive Officers of all client agencies by the Shared Services Centre, General Manager on 6 September 2008.
Further information is available from Stephen Yii, DTF Shared Services, Service Delivery Manager on 9258 0606.
