BRIGHTON Council and its wholly-owned information technology business
CouncilWise have made two senior appointments to its product development team.
Highly qualified Farshad Nouranian and Zoleikha Aliomrhan have joined the
Tasmanian-based team working to ensure the CouncilWise solution for local
government remains leading edge and cost effective.
CouncilWise is a fast, secure and effective local government management platform
developed by Brighton’s local government expert staff in partnership with tech giant
Microsoft. Cloud-based, it comprises a complete range of features to make running a
local government authority effortless and affordable.
Brighton Council’s General Manager and CouncilWise CEO Ron Sanderson said
Farshad’s background in web and API development, database design and project
management as well as his experience in previous senior technical roles both in the
software industry and in academia made him well-positioned to focus on the
development of the PropertyWise management software from a technical
architecture perspective.
“His skills in a large number of programming and database languages bring a strong
focus on quality assurance to the business,” Mr Sanderson said.
“Zoleikha is similarly qualified, coming from a multi-disciplinary background of
computer science and software engineering. With strengths in HTML5, she will be
focusing on the user interface and experience, ensuring PropertyWise users have
fast, accurate access to council functions such as property and rating management,
animal control and development applications.”
Mr Sanderson said it was a great advantage that Brighton Council was able to find
such highly qualified programmers locally in Tasmania.
“CouncilWise is a small, innovative team, and both Farshad and Zoleikha have
already made a significant impact on our speed of development.
“We look forward to providing more information as we further develop and market
our local government software solutions,” Mr Sanderson said.
