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.
BCS Management Award winner
All are welcome to attend - admission is free.
