O desafio

In line with the National Strategy for Local e-Government, Melton Borough Council is using leading edge technology to completely transform the way it works internally and the way it interacts with its citizens in order to become more customer focused.

A solução

  • Through the strategic partnership agreement to deliver a complete e-Government solution for the Welland Partnership, Melton Borough Council is working with Software AG to provide an innovative XML-based solution that is enabling the Council to re-engineer its business processes.
  • Melton Borough Council has implemented Software AG’s Integrated Electronic Service Delivery (IESD) framework as a platform to deliver services from its new purpose built Customer Service Centre and Telephone Contact Centre. The IESD framework already supports the Melton on Line Community Portal website (http://www.meltononline.co.uk) and is being developed to support the Council’s own website (http://www.melton.gov.uk).
  • Software AG’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution will enable Melton Borough Council’s Customer Service Advisors to have better access to information, enabling them to operate more efficiently and effectively and focus on the needs of the individual customer.
  • The CRM solution works across the whole of the Council and is providing useful management information that is being used in decision making processes, therefore enabling services to be shaped and improved to meet the needs of the citizen.

Os benefícios

  • Embracing the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister guidelines, a major Business Process Re-engineering initiative has been embarked upon with cost efficiencies immediately being achieved and more anticipated to follow in the future.
  • Melton Borough Council’s new Customer Service Centre has enabled the Council to interact with its citizens more efficiently in a friendly, open and welcoming physical environment, delivering an improved level of service.
  • Melton Borough Council is on course to hit a 2005 target of ensuring that 80% of public enquiries about council services are resolved at the first point of contact.
