Government agencies and State organizations all over the world are updating their IT platforms in order to increase efficiency, improve internal collaboration and management, and ultimately better serve the public and meet their goals.
Common challenges faced by Governmental OrganizationsA more efficient government is a principal goal of visionary governments. Making the best use of current technology, while keeping a tight control on costs, is the best strategy to achieve this goal.
Current technology enables better collaboration both inside and outside the organization. Collaboration is achieved through easy to use communication tools, gathering and sharing information, and intelligently processing this information to create specialized knowledge bases. This results in a more efficient government, connecting people.
Project Planning & ManagementExecution of government projects is a complex matter. There are many stakeholders; internal executives, external auditors, vendors big and small, directors, regulators, other agencies. Some even face potential public scrutiny. What this means is that all project tasks and decisions should be fully traceable.
Agencies need easy generation of these records, but most importantly, they have to assure good practices and comprehensive project management. Automate projects tasks creation and assignment. Track evolution of every project, individually and aggregated as part of parent divisions and organizations.
Collaboration featuresThe lifetime of Official projects might span through lengthy periods. Directors and executives need to keep track of many projects running in parallel. Features such as shared calendars, the ability to schedule and set alerts for due dates, sharing documents and tracking documents versions, and linking all information are just some of the features that improve internal and external collaboration.
Government IntelligenceThe basis for Government Intelligence is to record and organize all information received and internally produced. It is essential to keep track of all citizen's issues; from both individuals and associations. Queries, requests, claims and comments are all recorded and processed in a centralized manner, following the best and most suitable processes defined by the particular government body.
For data records to become knowledge bases, information should be swiftly classified, keeping track of its context, sources, and links. These are essential features for any government collaboration platform.
