BSP has the largest branch network in Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. BSP had rapidly expanded its operations across seven countries and had acquired multiple businesses in the process, all of which came with their own software systems. BSP saw the need to have a common system across all jurisdictions within which it operated to achieve operational efficiencies. BSP chose to implement Frontier Software payroll and self service with additional modules for learning, performance management and recruitment. They were impressed by how easily ichris could be set up across the different businesses that comprise BSP. Most of the build and set-up was done by the in-house BSP team with minimum involvement from Frontier Software, minimising the cost of deployment. By integrating many payrolls and currencies onto one database, processing turnaround was considerably faster and enabled in-system currency conversion.

  • 3.3 Samoa Additional Service Providers
    3.3 Samoa Additional Service Providers Overview Samoa is generally well-placed to provide services that may be required by agencies. All normal facilities and supplies are readily available and there are plenty of local, skilled operators, services and tradespeople. Due to a lack of manufacturing capacity in country, if very large numbers of particular items (e. g. tents, small generators) are required, it should be noted that importation would be required, generally from Australia (10-13 days) or New Zealand (5-7 days) by sea. For more information on company contact details, please see the following link: 4.8 Additional Service Provision Contact List Accommodation Due to its attraction as a tourist destination, there is an abundance of accommodation options in Samoa ranging from 4-star hotels to bungalow-style beach accommodation. In the advent of a humanitarian crisis, there is unlikely to be any tourist demand for these beds. There are sufficient accommodation options available that meet the minimum-security options for agencies. Electricity and Power Voltage in Samoa is 240V. The Electric Power Corporation (EPC) is a state-owned enterprise, established under the Electric Power Corporation Act 1980 to generate, transmit, distribute and sell electricity throughout Samoa. The utility operates as a separate entity and is defined as a public trading body under the Public Bodies Act (2001), with the principal objective of operating as a commercial business. The corporation now provides power to 98 per cent of the population of Samoa. EPC’s power system is comprised of a grid on each of Upolu and Savai’i islands, which together account for nearly all energy sales, and small stand-alone solar and diesel generation schemes on two isolated islands.
