3 Australian Federal Police The AFP is using Microsoft's BizTalk Server 2006 to integrate with agencies such as DIMA, CrimTrac, The Australian Customs Service, as well as a number of security agencies to support its operations. Another facet of the AFP use of BizTalk Server is the internal integration with the organisation s SAP system. The AFP has established a formal Integration Competency Centre (ICC) environment based on Microsoft s BizTalk Server 2006 (previously BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk 2002). The AFPs production BizTalk environment is a clustered high availability deployment to provide for a reliable and highly available service. The AFP also run a separate Disaster Recovery site for BizTalk 2006 to provide for further redundancy for these mission critical services. Queensland Child Protection (ICMS) Queensland Child Protection (ICMS) The Integrated Client Management System (ICMS) is a major business system that will be used by the Queensland Government to manage the affairs of at risk children and children under the care of the State. The improvement of services for the management of children is a sensitive and important initiative for Queensland Government, one of Microsoft Australia s largest customers. Child Protection is a major priority for the Queensland Government after significant bad press in recent years over mishandling of children who were in the care of the State (including deaths). A Crime and Misconduct Commission report into the abuse of Children in 2004 highlighted the need to improve IT systems as a significant driver to improve Government services in this area. Microsoft has stepped in to assist with the planning and development of ICMS, using a combination of local MCS consultants working at the customer site in Brisbane, the Solutions Development Centre (SDC) in Sydney and partners working in both locations. ICMS comprises of a number of business functions including management of carers, child protection investigations, alternative care and management of youth justice orders. ICMS is a composite approach using Microsoft platform components from our latest software stack (SharePoint,.NET, BizTalk 2006, Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Operations Manager, and Windows Server 2003) as well as custom.net development for supporting components. When completed, ICMS will provide a unique and tailored client management service that will be used by thousands of Queensland Government employees in multiple Departments. ICMS will significantly empower case workers throughout the State of Queensland by providing work saving measures, better access to data and better decision making ability that we believe will save the lives of children in the future.
