Public Sector Intranet - Homepage
The Public Sector Intranet (psi.govt.nz) aims to provide a single point, accessible by all public servants, where they can share information with their colleagues. It makes it easy for people to find information they need for their work, and make contacts in other agencies. It enables a sense of community, shared interests, and cross-agency cooperation.
The Public Sector Intranet (PSI) is provided by the State Services Commission. The Commission launched PSI as a full production system in mid-June 2006.
Why do we need PSI?
To achieve shared outcomes and work across agency boundaries, we need tools which support cross-agency work. We can all use PSI to gather together useful information across agency boundaries.
Benefits of the PSI
We can organise and share information and resources for our colleagues to reuse, reducing duplication of effort and promoting collaboration. We can share good practice and specialised services designed for cross-agency use. We can find and access our online-communities and locate useful contacts.
There is no charge for joining or using the PSI.
What will be on it?
Information you can expect to access through PSI:
- news and links relevant to all agencies
- toolkits and good practice
- online communities and cross-agency projects.
How can my agency join?
- Most public service agencies, non-public service departments and Offices of Parliament have already joined
- State sector agencies that are interested in using PSI, are invited to contact the PSI Team.
All enquiries can be sent to the email address psi@ssc.govt.nz
The joining process involves the agency contact person and the PSI Team working together on
- agreeing to PSI Conditions of use
- secure access for the agency to PSI
- promotion to staff within the agency.
How can I help PSI?
There are several ways to get involved. You can suggest or contribute resources that will be of interest to other agencies in the State Services. You can subscribe for email updates and register to add agency notices on the PSI homepage.
You can also participate by setting up an online community for sharing content. The PSI Team provides training and support to PSI community sites for no charge.
