Welcome
Welcome to the ALGIM website, your online tool for information and resources to support your Council IT activities.
ALGIM aims to support its members through:
- representing Council IT issues and interests to central government, businesses and other industry groups
- developing tools and resources that not only assist Council IT managers throughout New Zealand with day-to-day operations but keep you abreast of international developments and opportunities within the world of IT
- providing a forum for education, sharing and networking – particularly through the ALGIM annual conference but also through a yearly nationwide seminar programme.
ALGIM executives view this website as an essential service to its members, providing an up-to-date point of reference for ALGIM’s activities.

VMWare Licensing Offer to Councils
In brief, the proposal is designed to take advantage of the syndication of councils under the ALGIM umbrella which allows VMware to offer significantly reduced pricing for an Unlimited VI3 Enterprise and Virtual Centre license.
The main points of the proposal are:
VMware offer an unlimited usage license key to all participating councils for
- VI3 Enterprise (incl Vmotion, DRS, HA, VCB, DPM and Update Manager)
- Virtual Centre
- Platinum Support & Subscription (24/7)
- Technical Account Manager
- 1 x VMware Training course per Council
VMware segregates the Councils based on employee numbers, those with 300+ employees become a Tier 1 Council and those <300 become a Tier 2 Council.
Each Tier 1 Council that participates counts for 2 Program Points and Tier 2 Councils count for 1 Program Point. This pricing is offer based on VMware collating 40 Program points meaning uptake from either 20 x Tier 1 Councils, 40 Tier 2 Councils or a combination of both. Further information can be found on the Products and Services page.
