18 Jun Case Study: Building Stable Systems for Li-Ve Tasmania
The Client: Li-Ve Tasmania
Li-Ve Tasmania focus on the delivery of care to the disability sector in Tasmania. Formed through the merger of Veranto and Liviende in 2015, and rebranded as Li-Ve Tasmania the following year, the organisation now employ 400 staff state-wide and service 280 participants.
The Challenge
The introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in 2013 drastically altered the funding models underpinning the disability sector, requiring Li-Ve Tasmania to begin tailoring packages to meet existing and prospective client requirements.
This rapidly changing market environment set an immediate pressure for Li-Ve Tasmania to introduce new levels of business agility and flexibility in how their people, processed and technology would operate.
The Goal
To implement simple-to-use, scalable and stable new technology and core databases which would enable automation and efficiency across the Li-Ve Tasmania internal and mobile teams.
The Intuit Technologies team worked with our organisation to achieve the seamless delivery of our required outcomes. From excellent project management, through to working with our team to ensure effective integration with other parts of our technology transformation, the Intuit Technologies team was with us every step of the way.
