Redland Shire Council Launches their MCMS Website "myServices"
I (via
Data#3) worked with Redland Shire Council's internal IT department (Stephen Alderman & Clayton James, &
Mark Daunt) & Microsoft Consulting Services (Christopher Walker) on their new 'myServices' website.
Residents can log on and view all of their council services (Properties, Rates, Animals, Animal Payments, Library, Maps etc) ; and see specific content targeted to them ie. “Information for Property Owners“ or even more granular “Information for Pool Owners“.
We managed this by setting up several MCMS environments (external - readonly, internal - authoring, UAT/Build & dev) ; and having the MCMS templates talk back via .NET WebServices to their Proclaim System (local govt. management system by Technology One).
We (Mark Daunt) also setup auto building of the solution using NAnt.
In the near future their external internet site should be migrated over to MCMS 2002.
Redlands have some really cool stuff happening with their Intranet (SharePoint & Live Communications Server) as well.
I love eGovernment!
