14 March – New Service Announcement!

I am excited to share that Kānoa - Regional Economic Development and Investment Unit at Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) has just gone live with 4 reporting forms for recipients of the Regional Infrastructure Fund on Business Connect.

The newly implemented forms allow funding recipients to easily report on their project progression and completion while also telling the stories of the impacts the projects provided in their communities and regions.

It's great to see the team at Kānoa transition more of their business-facing services online to improve their customers' experience with this shared government platform. This brings their total number of forms on Business Connect to 8.

The team really takes it as a vote of confidence to see more forms published by the lovely team at Kānoa. It has been a breeze working with them, we’re getting into a real groove now!

7 March – Speedy updates for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise's (NZTE) Active Investor Plus form    

This week the team had to respond quickly to a changing delivery date. It’s always great to see the way the team pulls together when we need to move fast.

FormBuilder comes into its own when it comes to updating existing forms quickly. In this case all the changes were content related and done with the tool. Once ready and approved by the business owner we were ready to test. Testing was straight forward, done fairly quickly and the updated form was live.

It means our service designer can do all the work, not our developers. This keeps our developers focused on improving the products, maintaining the performance of the platform and investigating future features as we work on our planned roadmap. 

Businesses using the updated form from now on will get the benefits of further streamlining in the information being requested.

Dion, Test Lead
