AchieveForms for New Zealand Local Government
North Shore City, in the Auckland region of New Zealand has adopted AchieveForms as an integral part of their e-channel strategy.
The Council made a strategic decision to find a best-of-breed online forms solution that would allow them to rapidly create, accessible forms.
North Shore is the fourth biggest city in New Zealand and the council is responsible for providing services to more than 200,000 residents. The Council is a leading authority in driving the e-Government agenda in New Zealand and is looking to use AchieveForms to transform forms-based services across the organisation.
"North Shore City Council is currently developing an e-channel strategy with a desired outcome of moving most customer interaction into a low cost electronic channels such as the internet with a minimum use of phone and face-to-face channels. The provision of services over the web is an important step in transforming the business of Council. This transformation will see an integrated organisation delivering efficient and effective services that are "joined up" and customer driven. North Shore City Council plans to meet its requirements by implementing AchieveForms to enable rapid development and deployment of online forms, for both the intranet and internet."

Business Web Software raise money for BBC Children in Need 2007
Business Web Software entered two teams into this year’s Cambridge Fun Run in aid of Children In Need.
The Cambridge Fun Run has supported BBC Children in Need every November since 1989. Last year they raised over £10,000 for the charity.
Organised as a relay, each team member ran one lapof the Cambridge Science Park, just over a mile. The Fancy Dress category attracted some unusual entries including the “The Sprintstones” who, carried a Flintsones “car” around the course.
As per tradition, it was freezing cold, but the turnout was still excellent.
Through sponsorship the two teams raised over £150 and in true Business Web Software style, the teams werenamed AchieveSuccess and AchieveCompletion.
AchiveSuccess consisted of Luke Cathie, Brett Husbands, James Spence and Martina North. The team ran a very respectable average lap time of 7 minutes 46 seconds, putting them 30th out of the 87 teams. The most impressive individual lap time from AchieveSuccess was 6 minutes 33 seconds by Luke Cathie.
Richard Adams, Elizabeth Adams, Steve Bailey and Stephen Kerley made up AchieveCompletion finishing 74th with an average lap time of 9 minutes 22 seconds. Richard Adams made an impressive lap of 8 minutes 12 seconds.
