New partnership to kick-start e-gov compliance

Wednesday 8th of June 2005

Over the last few years local authorities have been working hard to meet e-government objectives and significant strides have already been made. However, a new partnership between Orbis Software and the local authority specialist, Consilium Technologies, is set to radically increase the speed in which these project objectives are completed.

Andrew Murray, consultant for Consilium Technologies highlighted this exciting development when he said, “Through our partnership with Orbis Software we’re in a position to automate practically any activity of the local authority officer.” He continued, “Real-time information will be automatically published to web pages for citizens to view; authority workers will have their administration activities automated and local authority managers will benefit from complete visibility of employee compliance activities.” He concluded, “This technology, with its drag and drop interface, will mean that projects will be completed much quicker and the automation aspect of our product will reduce local authority waste.”

Philip Smith, Managing Director for Orbis Software also commented on this exciting partnership with Consilium Technologies when he said, “E-government is designed to bring information, from multiple departments, to those stakeholders who need it most. TaskCentre’s® Business Process Management capabilities address the very heart of the e-government problem by removing the physical emphasis placed on individual software users to manually extract, format and deliver real-time information.”

Consilium Technologies is the first local authority specialist to embed the UK’s leading Business Process Management solution, TaskCentre®, into its offerings and has already experienced a high level of interest in its new automation capabilities. Indeed, with the movement towards on-demand information increasing in momentum this partnership looks set to have a major impact on the local authority arena.
