Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has released some documentation about its Advanced Survey and Title Services (ASaTS) project for replacement of the Landonline system.

The documents include a Cabinet paper and Detailed Business Case, with details on planning for the project as well as the "as a service" approach which LINZ is taking.

This means LINZ will select a vendor that can deliver a suitable system that LINZ pays to use, rather than paying a vendor to build a system that LINZ then owns.

ASaTS Change Director James Mowat says the "as a service" approach can give the same benefits as a LINZ-built system "with greater value for money for our customers as well as taxpayers".
