The City of Dallas Continues to Drive Their Smart Government Initiatives Forward with Incapsulate
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the City of Dallas needed to rapidly implement enterprise level, scalable, Low Code/No Code platform-based solutions to provide uncompromised customer service to the Public and a safe environment for their employees. The City of Dallas successfully launched three critical applications to aid with tackling and providing the technology support needed for city employees to serve their constituents during COVID-19.
Smart City has been a priority for City of Dallas officials for quite some time. City of Dallas IT Executive, Girish Ramachandran outlines several Smart Domains in the City's Technology Initiatives Plan. The City of Dallas defines a Smart City as one that; "focuses on improving the quality of life of all citizens by adopting new forms of governance, public participation, process improvements, technology adoption, data-driven decision making and provides sustainable services."
Girish Ramachandran, says the pandemic has placed special emphasis on a critical domain where the City was already focusing, the shift to self-service. This shift has become more relevant today in order to enable our constituents and employees to work remotely. In this new digital age and especially in the event of an emergency, residents and businesses of the City of Dallas need to be able to conduct business from anywhere. "Though these are challenging times for local government, service organizations and the community, this crisis also offers the opportunity for us to strengthen our ability to respond, learn and mitigate its impact by embracing a new digital transformation strategy," said Ramachandran.
With Dallas' Smart City Initiatives in mind, Incapsulate's Interactive Citizen Calendar App enables the city's constituents to schedule appointments online and helps city employees manage appointments while delivering safe low/no touch customer service. Constituents are able to check-in at an appointment location and manage their appointment from their mobile device. In parallel the City of Dallas launched Incapsulate's Online Forms App, providing the city with the ability to digitize, configure, and publish online forms and applications. With safety being at the forefront in all City of Dallas initiatives, these apps help to enhance the welfare of residents, visitors, and businesses in Dallas.
The City of Dallas is also leveraging Incapsulate's Workforce App allowing the City of Dallas to proactively report the required information to work safely. Employees can self-check-in using the mobile app, web portal, or by calling into the city contact center. The city is able to set up automatic case creation and assignment, as well as automatic priority setting and customized case notification. This allows City of Dallas employees to proactively report, update and manage returning to work safely in an effort to deliver to their constituents.
Success for The City of Dallas means, city wide proactive reporting, public appointment scheduling with city departments online, and increasingly digitized forms and applications. City of Dallas departments currently leveraging these solutions include 311, Community Care, and Code Compliance. These apps play a crucial role in supporting the city as they continue to serve their constituents during these challenging times.
