SaaS tools for Councils finance, property and rating systems like TechOne Cloud and Civica can tie up IT budgets in multimillion-dollar implementations.
So what happens when you’ve got to deliver additional functionality beyond their native capabilities — and you don’t have the available funds needed?
Systems like TechOne and Civica do a great job managing Councils’ core functions. But what about the delivery of department specific solutions?
TechOne and Civia don’t usually provide the following services without third-party integrations — all of which may come at an additional cost to you.
Facility & Event Booking
File & Print Servers
Working from Home
Backups & Disaster Recovery (DR)
Sewer Line & Water Pipe Inspection Video Storage
Body Cam Footage Storage
Library System Applications
ArcGIS**
Financial & Records Management**
**Depending on the ERP you’ve chosen, you may have these systems covered.
Unlike core SaaS solutions, the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform is highly flexible and integrates easily with systems you may already be using. And because costs are billed on a consumption basis, you won’t overburden your budget unnecessarily with upfront investments.
But getting to the cloud as quickly and efficiently as possible requires proper planning. That’s where CloudLift comes in.
The CloudLift assessment tool and associated methodology is based on Codify’s unique IP, and results in an evidence-based, fully costed plan for moving to the cloud. Each CloudLift assessment encompasses:
Discovery Stage
We’ll deep-dive into your Council’s existing environment to develop an Application Portfolio from your existing servers.
Solution Planning
After assessing your current environment, we’ll plan an ideal cloud migration path based on the ‘6Rs’ and your Council’s target future state.
Cost Estimation
Your target state design leads to a commercial plan for Azure, including estimates for migration and consumption costs.
Migration Roadmap
Finally, we deliver a high-level migration roadmap showing your Council what will be needed to achieve your target state in Azure.
By defining a cloud migration strategy for every application in your Council’s environment, Codify’s CloudLift assessment enables more granular planning for multiple Azure end-states. As a result, this migration methodology enables more strategic decision-making on the future state of the applications your Council intends to use in the cloud.

The transparency was amazing.”
Nathan Rogers, Former Manager of IST, Scenic Rim Regional Council
CloudLift is a great choice if you’re struggling with the limitations of ERP SaaS tools like TechOne or Civica, facing the end of your hardware’s useful life, coming to the end of a restrictive, multi-year hosting contract, looking to modernise your operations, or simply seeking to be more visionary about your applications and solutions.
Even better, as members of Microsoft’s Solution Assessments & Azure Accelerate Program, Codify may be able to access funding programs that can offset some or all of the cost of your CloudLift assessment.
