One objective given by the Office of the
E-Envoy is to "facilitate participation in the democratic process"
- Postfield Systems are here to help you make that happen. We can
provide you with a system that will meet the e-Gov challenge!
Our Council Meeting Display System will assist you with achieving
two out of three areas of the Government's target of e-enabling
every relevant public service by 2005.

"This user-friendly system
will enable you to interact with your citizens in an innovative
way." |
|
|
|
|
| Which two areas does our system cover? |
|
|
| Transforming
services - making them easier for the public to access |
|
We can improve your customers' experience, when they visit
your council to attend a public meeting, by enabling them
to view (on a monitor);
- When/where meetings are taking place
- If the meeting has started it will
list the current item being discussed (this empowers customers
by enabling them to join the meeting when pertinent to them)
- If a meeting has been adjourned,
and the time it will reconvene
- Other important information (displayed
as text or images)
Our system also enables Councillors/staff to have access
to this information via the intranet, so they don't even need
to leave their desk!
|
| Increasing
transparency of consultation and decision-making, and finding
new ways for citizens to participate. |
|
You can interact with your citizens in an innovative way
and take the pressure off your front of house staff.
How does the system work?
- Room bookings are made through a
centralised system.
- Individual agendas can then be added
to each room booking.
- Once the meeting is taking place
the Meeting Clerk advances the 'current agenda' from inside
the meeting using a 'hand-held' unit.
- This immediately updates the information
on the screens, which are displayed within your council.
This system is user-friendly and can be adapted to suit
your individual requirements. From our extensive experience of
dealing with councils we understand that each has its own
requirements.
For example, we can provide you with the flexibility to show
multiple displays, so the public can view the current agenda
and important messages simultaneously.

prior to meetings

when pertinent to them

via the intranet, allowing information to be shared readily
