About the User Forum

The Infor Public Sector User Forum is an incorporated entity whose membership is made up of Local Government and Water Authorities in Australia and New Zealand along with commercial companies who utilise the Hansen Asset Management and Pathway PPR application, owned and developed by Infor Public Sector.

The forum currently has 112 member organisations across ANZ.

The forum is managed by an executive along with State based and NZ coordinators who manage the Special Interest Groups (SIG’s) from each state or functional group.

The SIG’s operate in many and varied ways which best suit the members and geography of each state. Minutes and information is available in the members area of this site.

The Forum holds an ANZ conference every year at which the Executive and State SIG Coordinators are elected from the membership.
