Public sector procurement officers can ensure their source of supply, manage costs effectively and deal with environmental concerns, but in order to do so, they must consider all angles of what is commonly being called the energy value chain. One fundamental issue associated with energy management in the public sector is the current split in many organizations between who makes the buying decision and who decides how that energy will be consumed. A first step towards a sound energy strategy and a win-win outcome is to ensure that these areas are either brought together or mandated to work together.

This paper presents a case study of the co-operative design, development, and implementation of an XBRL-enabled interorganizational system (IOS) by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the Reserve Bank of Australia (central bank), and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to revolutionize reporting by financial institutions in Australia. The findings illustrate that the complexity of data consumption patterns drove increased interdependence within the financial information supply chain requiring the co-operative development of context sensitive data exchanges and commodity-like IT infrastructures. The paper concludes that the co-operative model to IOS development exhibited here is likely to be more suited to the development of systems for financial information supply chains tha...
