About Us

Who we are

Information, technology and major projects

We established Informma after many years experience in technology strategy, software development and project management in the healthcare and infrastructure industries.

We saw an opportunity to improve how technologies and information are integrated and used to de-risk major projects.

Our team of project managers, system analysts, software developers and consultants, advise on healthcare and transport infrastructure projects. We have led and worked with government and private sector teams for a series of hospital and health service redevelopments as well as large transport infrastructure projects.

We are passionate about using technologies and information holistically and creatively to improve how infrastructure is designed, delivered and operated.

Our approach

Our goal is to de-risk projects by making better use of information and technology

While major projects contribute substantially to economic growth and social development, they are becoming increasingly complex with high risk of overspend, delay and litigation.

A series of studies reviewing over 1800 major projects in rail and road infrastructure in the last decade, showed a weighted average overspend of 22%.

This is no different in Australia, where analysis from the Grattan Institute found cost overruns of 21% for projects over $20 million over the past 20 years. Large projects are even worse, for $1 billion-plus projects with an overrun, that overrun was $1 billion itself.

Through our experience working on major projects across transport infrastructure and healthcare, we believe that good information management, especially in the early business case, design and costing phases can help mitigate cost overrun.

We believe that good information management requires:

a culture where people were open, inquisitive and focused on risk-based problem solving
clear governance, accountability and reporting lines
clear tracing of the project objectives and requirements right from the very earliest business case, through design, through construction and to operation.
clear reporting and tracking to support decision-making by project leaders
simple systems that work in the background to support the teams

Our team takes a holistic approach to information management and technology by addressing these factors early on.
