Delivering better results

Eastbourne Borough Council Eastbourne Borough Council has successfully changed its delivery of services to 90,000 residents through flexible working drive and property rationalisation. They have achieved their goals with expert input from Civica Specialists, re-engineering and streamlining core departmental processes. These changes, facilitated by Civicas integration of its EDM and Workflow platform into key back office and service operations, are set to save Eastbourne 3 million in all and help their staff work more flexibly and productively as time goes on. Civica has enabled Eastbourne to make cost savings across the nine departments and move from the underutilised Grove Road site on schedule. The total savings will be 3 million over ten years. By replacing a majority of administrative processes with electronic document handling, Civicas EDM and workflow platform is delivering 10% process efficiency savings. Moreover, staff have more time to plan and improve delivery of front line services.

Wandsworth Council Wandsworth Council is one of the UKs top-performing councils, having consistently achieved the countrys highest resident satisfaction rating for its services. Wandsworth first implemented Civicas EDM & Workflow for Revenues and Benefits solution in 2007 and soon realised the cost and efficiency savings it was providing. As a result the solution was extended to other town hall services, and following further successes, it began to be rolled out corporately in May 2011. Having the lowest council tax bills in the country, Wandsworth Council is renowned for efficiency and cost savings and Civicas EDM & Workflow solution has not only played its part in achieving this success to date, but will help the council achieve its value for money goals in the future.

Powys County Council Powys County Council aimed to reduce the cost of maintaining its operations through innovations such as mobile working and paperless business systems. Civica has helped the authority achieve these objectives, driving productivity by implementing the EDM and Workflow platforms across all its departmental operations. Civicas EDM and Workflow software modules were installed at a corporate level, providing the foundation for re-designed departmental services, faster processing, and easier information access across the council. The system delivers documents to the 3,000 staff users as easily from a remote connection as from an office, resulting in more employees working at home and bringing operational efficiencies. By implementing Civicas EDM and Workflow software, Powys County Council is achieving significant cashable savings and enhancing efficiency and staff productivity throughout the council. This uprated staff efficiency will help the authority to maintain its proud record of high quality services to citizens right across its community.
