Webinar: How local authorities can use data to better support their citizens and unlock hidden savings.

FINAL CALL! Webinar: June 23rd, 10am BST

Discover how to increase data visibility across local authorities to create long-term citizen value.

There are many challenges UK local authorities face when it comes to secure data access and a lack of visibility across platforms. This can lead to service interruptions that can then impact the citizen experience.

Working closely with local councils, we help them uncover hidden data to transform operations, cut costs, and improve overall efficiency. During the webinar, learn about the implications of quick-fix, pandemic-driven implementations to home working and digital services.
