Demonstration of New Customer Portals to District Councillors Please note that two identical sessions have been arranged to demonstrate the new customer portal to district councillors.
Date: Monday 14 January 2019 Location: Swansley Room Time: 2pm to 3pm & 6pm to 7pm
Description: We have recently purchased a new customer portal that will allow customers to create secure accounts and do everything, online, under one roof. They can report, apply and pay for Council services online. The portal will be able to track requests which means customers can see the progress of their eForms. The contact service will be able to use this to keep all customer contact in one place, which will make life easier for the contact service. Please come along and have a look at the new portal, called mysouthcambs.
The sessions will be facilitated by Sonia Constant: sonia.constant@scambs.gov.uk |
