The ALGIM IM Toolkit is a set of online tools and resources designed specifically to assist with the effective management of information created and held by local authorities in New Zealand. The Toolkit was developed by SWIM Ltd for ALGIM and initially published in 2003/2004. To date over 80% of all New Zealand local authorities have purchased the Toolkit.

The ALGIM IM Toolkit was developed because:

  • Good information management leads to improved service delivery
  • Council business relies on good information management
  • It provides a resource set to up-skill ALGIM members
  • It helps to build a community of practice for IM in local government
  • It creates consistency across councils in their approach to information management
  • It provides for the efficient use of council resources by sharing the costs of the development of information management tools, resources and frameworks
  • Using the Toolkit modules will assist with achieving legislative compliance in relation to records and information management.

ALGIM believes that the IM Toolkit provides a valuable resource to its members and the local authorities of New Zealand. Please see the order form (DOC, 698 KB) for prices.
