| The Land Registry is implementing a
Change Programme aiming at bringing to its customers an efficient, unified
registration service for the whole territory. At the core of the transformation
lies a streamlined business process, supported by an Integrated Registration
Information System (IRIS) replacing the existing fragmented computer systems.
Upon implementation of the changes, a single, centralised registry and
new organisation structure will be put in place.
The main development phase of IRIS was completed by October 2003. Since then we have been putting the new information management system through a stringent test programme. The test programme involves proving of individual functions; system integration; trial of the whole system; and refinement of functions and user interfaces. This part of the programme was not completed within the year as expected. At the end of March 2004 the system migration stage had not yet commenced, nor had the legal process for bringing the remaining parts of the Land Registration (Amendment) Ordinance 2002, which provides the legal framework for the unified registry structure, into effect. Our current expectation is that the IRIS system and central registration can be implemented in the last quarter of 2004. Staff throughout the department will be using IRIS in their work. They are being provided with comprehensive user training. The training programme includes classes conducted in a training room specially designed for the purpose and hands-on practice sessions to allow users to get acquainted with the new functionality and operations. For our customers, a demonstration and tutorial kit will be available on the Registry's website well in advance of the live-run. |
