Case Study: Nunkuwarrin Yunti achieves enterprise-wide, VERS-compliant records management and improved collaboration with Alfresco

Alfresco Revolutionises Records Management for a Community Organization

Nunkuwarrin Yunti is a community-controlled organisation delivering culturally based health and wellbeing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, serving more than 6,000 clients a year. Their Business Support Services Unit faced slow, fragmented records processes: an in‑house system that didn’t allow direct electronic file viewing, poor version control, limited collaboration, concerns over access to sensitive information, and a requirement for VERS certification — all within tight IT budgets.

They implemented Alfresco for 100 staff with Parashift deploying a VERS/SARKMS‑compliant records module using an agile, sprint-based rollout. The single, indexed repository now supports records and document management, versioning and collaboration, enabling staff to quickly find and work on thousands of documents, meet state record-keeping requirements, complete the project on time, and noticeably improve staff engagement and satisfaction.
