Efficiency & Innovation: Give residents what they want, end-to-end online service fulfilment

Residents expect government services to be responsive to their needs, and that means online, seamless, accessible, and secure.

Things you’re likely to never hear a resident say:

  • I can’t wait to call the city and apply for my business license!
  • Wow! I loved printing that PDF, filling it out by hand, and then scanning it back via email.

Fortunately, there is hope for organisations looking to improve their processes and provide more convenient services to residents. Confronting the reality of inefficient and antiquated systems is the first step toward improvement. The second step: Diagnosing the current environment and creating a plan for modernisation.

Service digitisation goes beyond PDFs and fillable forms. Automated workflows can bring extra benefits, but that’s just the start of benefits you can offer residents from end-to-end online services. A truly effective and efficient fulfilment service reduces vendor sprawl and drastically improves the experience of your staff members and residents.

Listen as government efficiency and innovation expert, Brian Elms, discusses the best practices of end-to-end online service fulfilment. Uncover how local governments are centralising systems, lowering costs, and reducing headaches for their staff and residents.

You’ll learn about:

  • The most common mistakes governments make when digitising services.
  • Why online services are imperative for your bottom line, your residents, and for your tech stack.
  • What end-to-end digital service should look like — and how to achieve it.
