Tenement and Billing System
The Tenement and Billing System (TABS) was developed for the Land Administration Branch of the South Australia Department for Environment and Heritage, to replace two Leases and Licences Systems that were over 20 years old. These systems were used to manage the leases and annual licence records, including the issuance of new leases and licences, invoicing and billing of various fees.
The TABS system was developed as two main components: a web-enabled online component and a suite of batch tools to provide billing, reporting and various required functions. The system was built on a backbone of Solaris, Oracle and J2EE standard application servers.
The TABS project team consisted of four full-time developers as well as a team-leader, business analyst, project manager, change and deployment manager and a number of testers. By employing the Struts framework and well known design patterns, in particular the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, the system was built to be scalable, extensible and robust.
With the success and acceptance of the TABS system, the Land Administration Branch recently asked LISAsoft to extend its functionality with a module called Commercial Tour Operators (CTO). This module added functionality to allow the management of commercial access to parks, as well as integrating with the existing billing and reporting functionality of TABS to perform CTO specific tasks. The smooth addition of of the CTO module illustrated the benefits of proper planning and design that was put into the TABS system.
