Challenge

Modernising City Services

The Metropolitan City Council was facing significant challenges with their ageing service infrastructure:

  • Long wait times for citizen service requests and permit processing
  • Siloed departments with disconnected data systems
  • Limited citizen engagement and transparency
  • Rising operational costs and resource constraints
  • Increasing citizen expectations for digital services

The council needed a comprehensive solution that would modernise their operations while improving service delivery and citizen satisfaction.
