The consultant is responsible for providing ongoing support to existing MSA IT systems, including end user and producer training and admin portals, MSA producer reaccreditation support, online ordering systems and single sign-on integration.

Objectives

• Provide second and third level local support role of infrastructure and applications, as required from corporate IT team.
• Coordinate IT services with MLA IT team as required.
• Communicate and liaise with relevant parties internally and externally.
• Ensure MSA IT Manual documentation is current.

Key findings

The key outcome for this project was the continued integrity of Meat Standards Australia's internal and external software systems which are constantly available.
