Infosphere is a Sydney based company who have developed a product for local government called Infocouncil. It is an automated, integrated office productivity tool for the creation, publication and storage of Local Government reports, agenda and minutes. Having been in development since mid 2000, Infocouncil is quickly gaining acceptance and is being used by a growing number of councils, from small to large, in both metropolitan and regional areas throughout Australia and New Zealand.
The software covers all the business processes involved in reporting up to Council and then recording decisions and putting them into action. It incorporates the latest internet and office technologies and provides valuable economies of scale to the Local Government sector.
Meeting and Governance Solutions have partnered with Infosphere to market the Infocouncil product in New Zealand.
