The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) has gone live with a standalone HR and payroll platform built on Aurion.
The department has moved off a legacy system that was managed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) under a shared services agreement.
DCCEEW was set up in mid-2022 and took over climate and energy functions that previously sat with the Department of Industry.
Since then, it has shared an Aurion and SAP system with DAFF and DISR.
However, DCCEEW announced plans to move its core IT services from the shared agreement in 2022, establishing a new cloud-based instance of Aurion for HR and payroll.
ITnews understands that the majority of DCCEEW’s 4000-plus staff [pdf] have moved onto the Aurion platform while the remainder will migrate in December.
DCCEEW was unable to comment on the project.
However, the department is now seeking outside assistance to carry out the final delivery of the project, consolidating corporate systems “to deliver contemporary and unified enterprise resource planning services across the whole of DCCEEW”.
