Description

The Digital Customer Platform/CRM will be required to replace our current Customer Contact Portal and become the preferred route for customers contacting and interacting with the Council. The first phase of the project will be to replace and improve 91 integrated and non-integrated forms, replace and improve 23 workflow processes for our Customer Services and Environment Departments. Further phases include replacing and improving 31 forms, PDF's and emails that currently sit outside the existing Customer Contact Portal these will require online forms and automated processes. Replacing or integration to back office systems is key to the customer on-line experience so that when our customers report problems, request services, pay for services, book services and check progress against services they are using one system and account login. The customer journey and experience is required to be seamless, effective and efficient. The replacement system is required to be easy to use to enable our Business Departments to make local form and process changes so that as a Digital Authority we can grow and add more on-line services efficiently and effectively. Although other authorities have been named in this procurement no discussions have been held with them regarding this procurement.
