Nottingham City Council picks Civica to grow digital inclusion and help build more effective services
Nottingham City Council ( NCC ) will bring in a new cloud platform to meet all of its regulatory service needs , thanks to a renewed partnership with global public sector software provider , Civica .
Citizens and businesses across Nottingham will benefit from improved online services and quicker resolution of queries following the five-year contract for Civica ’ s Cx Regulatory Services platform .
Increased financial challenges and higher demand on services , plus significant changes brought on by COVID-19 , meant NCC was looking for a new solution to focus on demand management across licensing , trading standards , environmental health and housing enforcement .
NCC currently deals with more than 32,000 queries per year , with new challenges during
COVID-19 – including a large increase in food service businesses moving to online delivery and the housing needs of a growing student population across the city .
The Cx platform – due to go live at the end of 2022 – will provide a single view of all contacts , businesses , land and properties . This will allow multiple council staff to access records simultaneously , while the integrated system will enable better connected data to share intelligence , improve reporting and minimise manual inputting .
The new citizen portal will make it easier for people to report and receive consistent answers to queries and support channel shift to digital across NCC . Customers can also be easily signposted to other linked services , cutting down unnecessary calls and visits .
