New software system for Work and Income

Given the biggest group of beneficiary clients are now sickness and invalid beneficiaries the name of the new client management software system being phased in from July 2007 at a cost of $54 million seems entirely appropriate but somewhat optimistic.

I hope this doesn't mean another loss of data, as happened when systems changed in 1993.

I first read about Curam (Gaelic for 'Care and Protection) in 2004 when MSD said they had selected this software. I don't know much about IT but Proof of Concept takes a long time.
