MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 953

Housing Trust - Computer System

MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services - In relation to the computer system used by the ACT Housing Trust

(1) What is the purpose of upgrade A2459A of the computer system (listed as contract IS-EP-UM (Gazette No. 32 of 11 August 1993)).

(2) What is the projected cost of further computer system enhancement, maintenance and computer-use staff training in the financial year 1993-94.

MR CONNOLLY: The answer to the Members question is as follows

(1) The purpose of the upgrade (reference A2459A in Gazette No. 32 of 11 August

1993) was to enable the Housing Trusts minicomputer system to be upgraded

to the current version of Ingres.

The Housing Trusts system is a modified version of the system used by the Victorian housing authority. The upgrade was required to preserve the ACT Housing Trusts access to improvements made to the Victorian version of the system, which was upgraded to the current version of Ingres in April 1993. Access to these improvements is of considerable benefit to the Housing Trust.

(2) The projected cost during 1993-94 of maintaining and enhancing the ISIP

computer system, and of computer training is $1.2 million.
