CivicPlus Takes Agenda Management to a New Level in Government Websites

MANHATTAN, Kan., Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CivicPlus, a leader in e-government communications platforms, has developed a powerful new agenda management system, called Agenda Center, that will streamline meeting management for local government employees and give citizens a greater voice in directing public conversations. The system will be integrated at no extra charge within all current and future websites created by CivicPlus.

"Agenda management is the first step toward government transparency and community engagement," said CivicPlus CEO Ward Morgan. "We completely overhauled our initial agenda creator product to give our clients one smooth, seamless process to electronically manage an agenda from creation and approval to automated user notification and publication of minutes. The wow factor is that it's easy to use, fully integrated into their own system and costs nothing extra because we are folding it in to our standard product offering."

For municipal administrators, the CivicPlus Agenda Center streamlines the time-consuming process of agenda management by enabling paperless item submissions; automating, customizing and tracking the approval workflow process; and automating agenda and packet creation. "Last-minute changes to meeting agendas are common in local government," said Morgan. "While we can't stop people from making changes, we can eliminate stress and mistakes by providing a streamlined automated process that covers all the bases of agenda management."  

The CivicPlus Agenda Center is a core pillar in the company's response to consumer demand for increasing government transparency and community engagement. The system automatically notifies users of new agendas and minutes, and uploads all information to the website, which a user can view directly. Citizens also can choose to receive agendas and minutes through a Notify Me® email or text message.
