Local Government

Centreline County Council You could be providing public information to your constituents. You could be promoting your region across the UK and the World

Why should I be on the Web?

Local government authorities are already making the most of the Web and the Internet to promote their region.

They are using the Internet to:

• Introduce business to their area
• Promote tourism
• Provide low-cost public service information
• Shout the good news about themselves

How do I get there?

Some will be "rolling their own", but this is not a task for faint hearted, recent reports have shown that developing and managing your own Web site can cost over £100,000 a year. Some regions have yet to make the move to the Internet. Their concerns are many:

• Lack of skills in computer department
• Inadequate computer resource and manpower
• Worries over security
• Concerns over expense
• Lack of tools and experience

Centreline 2000 can free you of those concerns. We can provide you a fully managed Web facility. We have already developed a range of tools to help us design, create and manage a Web site. We also have specialised tools for dealing local government special needs.

For example, if you wanted to make your committee minutes available for public examination, just how would you do that? No doubt you have 10's or 100's of documents. Each document needs to be converted and indexed. We have tools which can do this automatically for you.

So why not check over some of the local government authorities already making the most of the Internet and then talk to Centreline 2000 about how we can help you with your Internet connection.
