| Description |
One of the Coal Authority's jobs
is to keep track of mines, not least to produce reports for people
buying houses or seeking planning permission. Demand for this
service has more than doubled to 500,000 reports a year in eight
years.
The Authority worked with services group Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
to develop a service including a geographic information system.
The contract used a Public Finance Initiative approach, which meant
the service supplier took on the development risks.
A project with special meaning for IT professionals who work,
and live (and buy houses) in South Wales.
