Municipal Information Systems (MIS) division is a functional unit within the Corporate Administration Directorate. It aims to provide a robust, reliable and comprehensive information processing service for all users within NMB- in this sense it can be likened to the ’nervous system’ of the ’municipal organism’.
Approximately 0,68% (roughly two-thirds of one percent) of the municipality’s annual Operating Expenditure Budget is invested in information systems.
MIS is currently engaged in two major initiatives, namely the formulation and implementation of a comprehensive Information and Communications Technology Strategy for the municipality, and the introduction of e-Government concepts and facilities to streamline business processes.
MIS division comprises two major operational groupings, namely Application Development Section and Technical Services Section:
Application Development Section (ADS): Managed by Chris van Lelyveld, this section is responsible for the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of computer application systems, both ’corporate’ (i.e. used throughout the municipality) and ’departmental’ (i.e. specialized software intended for use by a specific organizational entity). The five major corporate systems, namely;
• Consolidated Billing
• Staff Payroll
• General Ledger
• Stores and Creditors
• Job Costing
are all developed and maintained in-house.
Technical Services Section (TSS): Managed by Gerrie Gerber, this section is responsible for the information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure of the municipality, which currently comprises four IBM AS/400 midrange systems, 22 file servers and some 2,500 personal computer workstations distributed throughout the NMB area - not to mention a substantial number of switches, routers, printers and other ancillary equipment. In addition, TSS handles the day-to-day operation of the central processing facilities, batch processing and data security. The local area network runs on Novell, and GroupWise is used for electronic mail. On average, the TSS Service Desk handles over 900 queries or calls for assistance from internal users every month.

Asset Management Sub Directorate was established by Council 2 years ago to coordinate asset management function in the municipality, mainly to:
· Ensure that the municipality has a legally compliant fixed asset register.
· Ensure that council assets are managed, controlled and safeguarded in an effective and efficient manner.
· Ensure that the municipality has an Asset Management Policy and procedures to be followed in the management of a life cycle of an asset since acquisition up to its disposal.
The disposal committee when established will meet monthly to deal with disposal applications from the various directorates and offices of the municipality. The Asset Management Division of the municipality will monitor the physical verification of assets performed by the various directorates of the municipality and coordinate a report for audit purposes.
When new assets are purchased and updated on the Asset Register of the municipality, the Asset Management sub directorate staff will check whether these assets have been bar coded. The Asset Management sub directorate will ensure that the assets are being managed, controlled, maintained,safeguarded and properly accounted for in the annual financial statements of the municipality through the implementation of the Asset Management Policy and Procedures designed for this function.
