Local council and Sx3 deliver e-Government solution
An e-government solution, pioneered and developed by Sx3 in Northern Ireland, is go live for the first time throughout the UK at Lisburn Borough Council.
The new product gives domestic and business ratepayers immediate access to a wide range of council services via the Internet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Specially designed by Sx3 to work in conjunction with their 'Wizard' series of local authority management software, the development of the management system was founded by IRTU.
The new system gives any individual or company with a standard internet connection, immediate access to more detailed information than was ever previously available.
Noel Brady of Sx3 said: "As the public sector faces up to the challenges of citizen-centric government, local councils in particular have recognised the increasingly important role played by new technology.
"Helping local authorities meet the needs and expectations of the consumer was key to the development of our e-government management system. Immediate access to information, the chance to respond to or contribute information, and real-time feed back mechanisms are just some of the benefits enjoyed by the end-user."
Lisburn, Belfast and Wokingham councils are amongst the first in the UK to use the new software, with Lisburn being the first to 'go live' and offer the full service to its customers. (MB)
