background

• spatial should be a fundamental tool for
  Government and business
• but isnt
• why not?
• difficult to obtain (poor access and
  distribution)
• difficult to understand and apply
  (knowledge/expertise)
• expensive to process and apply (hardware,
  software, specialist staff)

original VSST requirements

• improved access and distribution
• direct delivery to the desktop from a web service
• basic, but effective functionality
• easy to understand and apply
• leverage existing infrastructure
• standard, existing hardware and software, users
  in a familiar software environment

5
the VSST concept as developed

• existing objective, benefits retained
• improved access, improved ease of use, leverage
  existing infrastructure
• two additional potential benefit areas identified
• automated population and processing of government
  transactions (applications forms, )
• aggregated information available for strategic
  planning and service delivery
• potentially, a complete, accurate, reliable and
  current view of government service delivery

6
original VSST Concept

• Microsoft Smart Tag recogniser
• Smart tag function recognises address patterns
• provides a tag of related options

VSST webservice benefits

• simple productivity gains
• maps, images and spatial information available to
  all
• strong address verification/cleaning, single
  authoritative source
• process and transaction gains
• forms, processes completed more accurately,
  quickly, effectively partial automation and
  access to single authoritative sources
• savings
• avoidance of GIS capital and recurrent costs
• strategic planning and service delivery
• rich information source for performance
  monitoring, modelling and analysis, and
  strategic planning

example how DSE can leverage Smart Tags

• transaction log a complete record of DSE service
  delivery, available for analysis, performance
  assessment, mapping

DSE programs that can leverage Smart Tags
17
benefits transactions, service delivery

• a business tool, not a spatial application
• business processes and transactions make use of
  this tool, not GIS
• up to 8 cent saving on every smart tagged
  letter posted current postage costs in DSE only
  can be reduced by 50-60k per annum
• delivered to the business environment
• a web service that leverages a single
  authoritative source
• built into business applications and processes,
  as well as interactive use
• simple to use
• if you can use Microsoft Office, or a web
  browser, its available
• driven by standard IT hardware and software
• Part of SOE, leverages existing IT investment,
  infrastructure

18
benefits transactions, service delivery

• rich information resource for data mining,
  modelling, analysis and reporting
• clean, consistent address verification
• clean consistent CD (or mesh block) allocation
• real time availability for dashboard and
  visualisation, as well as development of
  longitudinal data series
• enables multiple (all) DSE programs to be
  compared and managed in a consistent manner
• because it is aggregated to CDs, able to fully
  integrated with an almost unlimited range of
  other CD based socio-demographic and statistical
  information
• fully privacy compliant, Privacy Commissioner
  consulted during development of proof-of-concept

19
timelines, next steps

• PoC Completed November 2004
• RFT for a Victorian Mapping and Address Service
  for implementation in DSE/DPI has been released
  June 2005
• Production level webservice available to DSE/DPI
  by Nov 2005
• Development of transaction and service
  information log through key case studies
