Local Governments today are faced with the critical issues of:
- delivering an increasing amount of information to the community
- making this information accessible electronically 24/7
- satisfying the need within their own organisations for faster access to better information.
Whether it’s a website for citizens or an organisation-wide intranet, Netcat WCM is designed to deliver a proven, scalable, content management platform that enables local governments to satisfy these requirements.
Netcat WCM enables local governments to improve their service delivery, information management and communication with their constituents with a rapidly-deployed web content management solution tailored for local government needs.
Netcat delivers significant benefits to local governments, including:
- The ability to manage and deliver large volumes of rapidly changing content about your organisation and its services to the community.
- The ability to deliver information electronically to the community, from a Directory of Council Services to Library opening hours, to information about DA’s, Waste management and Sports Oval availability – all in a range of languages.
- Transformation of your internal information management and communication through our special "out-of-the-box" intranet kit. This provides Councils with many pre-built facilities such as Organisation chart, Staff skills register and Forms engine.
