AWEX Application Governance Success Story

What FUJIFILM MicroChannel did

The Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX) manages and administers wool marketing arrangements across Australia, overseeing industry self-regulation through a membership-based structure representing most first-hand wool traded each year.

Prior to engaging FUJIFILM MicroChannel for an Application Governance initiative, AWEX faced operational challenges and risks as a result of the diverse and interconnected technology landscape both within its organisation and in how AWEX connects to industry systems.

The AWEX management team identified the need for a comprehensive review of its application environments across multiple business-critical systems – including Dynamics 365 Sales (CRM), data platforms, and mobile and web applications and required clarity on system interdependencies, proactive maintenance planning capabilities, and a foundation for future success. In response to these requirements, FUJIFILM MicroChannel partnered with AWEX to develop and implement a tailored Application Governance strategy aligned to the organisation’s specific needs and objectives.

Initial Challenges

Growing complexity: Increasingly interconnected applications created risks to business continuity and resilience.

Limited visibility: AWEX lacked a clear view of application dependencies, compliance requirements, and alignment with business goals.

Reactive approach: IT operations focused on maintenance rather than proactive technology governance.

Continuous improvement: AWEX sought an ongoing governance framework that supports stakeholder engagement, application lifecycle management, and strategic technology planning.
