The Organisation
The Government of Vanuatu currently uses the Infor SmartStream system as its Integrated Financial Management Information System (FMIS), supporting functions such as financial management, payroll, human resources, and asset tracking. Since its rollout in 2002, SmartStream has expanded across over 100 government sites with more than 300 users and now interfaces with multiple systems including the Vanuatu Budget Management System (VBMS), ERPSuite, Imprest Register, and various billing and reporting platforms. While the system has been enhanced over time, it is now outdated and no longer meets the evolving needs of modern financial operations. The government plans to upgrade its FMIS to improve efficiency, security, transparency, and compliance with both national and international standards.
