It seems that everyone is being asked to do more with less these days, so it’s important to find that extra edge. InfoCouncil is a technology advantage being offered to councils. It is a contemporary, stable and economical package for managing Local Government business papers. Here’s a snapshot of how it works. The software comprises four modules – Reports, Business Papers, Publishing and Action Sheets.
A series of secure, configurable Microsoft Word templates is used for report creation. Once a report is finished it is available for review and approval by a manager. Producing an agenda for a meeting is simply a matter of ensuring that all the required reports have been submitted and then pressing the ‘go’ button.
Minutes are created using our Minutes Toolbar. This is a tool for predefining standard text for automatic insertion into minutes documents.
Agendas and minutes can be published to the web instantaneously and automatically, with a detailed navigation pane created automatically for each unique document. Using the details of resolutions made in meetings, InfoCouncil builds up a series of email notices relating to actions required, and provides editing and tracking functions for administrators.
So how can your council benefit from InfoCouncil?
In two ways – you can provide a faster and more informative service to the general public, staff and councillors by making business papers available electronically; and you can remove the drudgery and expense of managing business papers manually.
