Gazetteer Management software from GGP Systems is helping Havering Council maintain and integrate essential information to support the delivery of key frontline services. The system provides immediate online access to accurate and up to date property details that are fundamental in the provision of services such as waste, recycling and housing.
The Council’s centralised gazetteer, maintained and integrated with other back office systems using GGP NGz, is also used to generate essential revenue streams for the Council by underpinning both Council Tax and Non Domestic Rates collections. The software also ensures the Council’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is up to date allowing for the speedy identification of service requests and issues from householders.
Chris Pickett, Specialist ICT Analyst at oneSource the shared back off support service developed and used by Havering Council, commented, “A single, well maintained, up to date and accurate record for every addressable property in the borough is essential for the delivery of frontline services to residents and business. Using GGP Gazetteer Management Software we have been able to create this valuable resource and, possibly more importantly, integrate with other back office systems and frontline service delivery support mechanisms.”
