The Performance Enabler

Built because transformation this fast needed a platform that could keep up.

An iterative transformation makes demands most software can't meet: redesign a form this week, add a guardrail next week, connect two processes the week after — all without breaking what's live and while building a powerful interconnected single source of truth. So we built the Performance Enabler: a unified digital workspace that guides every person to what happens next, delivering the visibility, clarity and accountability your teams need to deliver more for the community together. With 15 years of continuous improvement behind it, it's a mature platform — built for the complexity of local government.

It's built on the Microsoft Power Platform your council already trusts, embedded in your Microsoft 365 ecosystem, and secured by your own Microsoft tenant — so it inherits the security and governance you already have. And it's engineered for rapid change, with full development, test and production environments, so the platform can evolve as fast as you need without ever risking what's already running.

»» What's inside

30+ proven functions, refined over 15 years inside councils.

Each is a complete, working process — not a generic template, and each a self-contained module, so adding one never destabilises the rest.

Start with the one that hurts most; add the next when you're ready.

  • Council meeting actions
  • Risk register
  • OHS corrective actions
  • OHS inspections
  • Policy register & reviews

Operations & Projects

At its core, every action connects to a position, and every position connects to a person. As actions, positions and staff move, the system updates seamlessly — so every team member always knows what they, and the people reporting to them, are working on.

The functions don't sit in silos. Council processes don't either.

When the project manager knows about the position change, and the customer-request function sees the FAQ update, connected decisions become far better than isolated ones. Each new function makes every existing one more valuable — which is why the platform gets more useful the longer you work with it, not less.

»» In your hands

Your team makes the changes — not a vendor queue.

The quick wins that keep momentum don't wait for a change request. Process owners and administrators make their own adjustments — from drag-and-drop tweaks to whole new forms, processes and reports — through a tiered access system you control. The deeper, technical changes (data schema, custom styling) stay with the administrators you choose. You decide who can do what; we support you on any change, or make it for you.

And because every change moves through proper development, test and production environments, your team can move fast without ever breaking what's live. Our aim is to transfer what we know about making local-government processes hum — so your council keeps adding processes for years, increasingly on its own.

»» Your tenant, your control

Secured entirely within the Microsoft environment you already run.

Authentication, access and data all live in the Microsoft layers your council already trusts — audited, controlled, and never leaving your tenant.

Azure

Apps, functions and key vault.

Dataverse

Role-based access and a unified data layer.

Entra ID

User authentication and the security you rely on today.

»» Backed by a team

An embedded partner, not a help desk.

We work alongside you as the platform opens up new ways of working — guiding the process and behaviour changes that make them stick, and actively seeking your feedback to make the small adjustments that bring faster decisions and cleaner data to life. And through our customer success team, you always have a real person to reach — whether something's gone wrong, or you just want to know how to do something new.

Behind that sits a continuous-improvement roadmap that runs on two tracks:

Improving the platform

New capability, refinements and connections — shaped directly by council feedback and requests.

Improving how you use it

Better ways of working, surfaced as you and other councils discover them — and flowed back to you.

So the things you ask for, and the gains other councils discover, keep flowing back to you.

»» Proven in Victorian local government

Refined across three generations and two councils since 2015.

This isn't version one. The Performance Enabler is the third generation of a platform that's been delivering real outcomes inside councils for over a decade.

2015
Hepburn Shire Council

A no-code CRM replaces "the database on a screen." Closing the Loop is born — and grows, process by process, into one connected way of working.

2019
Hobsons Bay City Council

The next generation, and the breakthrough: a dynamic dashboard showing every user and manager what's due, what's coming and what's outstanding. It's now at the heart of the platform.

2026
Microsoft-native

Rebuilt from the ground up in Azure, Power Platform and Entra ID, with proper development and test environments — the same proven processes, now fully inside your security and control.
