Jellyfish Enabling for Councils
The role of Councils
Councils play an increasingly important role through:
- Representation – providing a voice over local issues.
- Services – delivering a wide range of products to citizens, businesses, and communities.
- Physical infrastructure – necessary for economic efficiency and the amenity of communities.
- Legal & Governance frameworks – creating an enforcing the system of laws.
- Wealth redistribution – collecting revenue through rates, taxes, and charges and using this to provide services.
Digital technology is central to how councils operate. It brings significant economies of scale, allows local government to set the agenda, and brings number of equity benefits between councils and communities. Councils can embrace powerful digital enablers to assist with:
- Council agility.
- Capital outlay.
- Future demands of council.
- Improved service deliver.
The proliferation of stakeholders is a major challenge for councils through understanding and maintaining relationships and identities.
The importance of Council data
Data and information collected by councils are critical assets that can be used to improve service delivery and improve productivity. Database integrity and integration are essential to ensure the best use of technology. Efficiencies can easily be gained through establishing ‘one source of truth’ in collecting the data once but allowing it to automatically propagate into other systems.
Councils require robust data that can be readily aggregated and analysed, in order to make strong cases to the community and other spheres of government on needs and requirements. There is a challenge, however, in managing the privacy, security, and control of council data. The proliferation of breaches has propelled cybersecurity to become a key concern.
Customer-centric Service Deliver?
Citizens are at the centre of service delivery for councils. With people becoming increasingly mobile, improving service is essential as citizens increasingly have expectations of delivery. At its core, all service delivery channels should be electronic. This makes technology and data security platforms key to ensuring successful customer centric service delivery.
