Local Government IT Excellence Coming Up Fast

Intellect extends deadline for Local Government Excellence Awards 2007

Intellect has extended the entry deadline for the prestigious Intellect, Socitm and SOLACE Local Government IT Excellence Awards. All local authorities that have implemented an innovative and effective IT-based solution are invited to enter this year’s awards, which are sponsored by Ericom Software. The deadline for entries is now Friday, 10th August 2007.

The awards are free and simple to enter and are open to any local authority within the UK. Those selected for the shortlist will be notified in September and the winners presented their awards at the Socitm Annual Conference, 14-16 October at the Belfast Waterfront Conference Centre.

Last year’s winner was C-me, a system developed by West Lothian Community Health & Care Partnership to improve the delivery of services to local children through information sharing.

Ian Platt, managing director, Ericom commented: “The IT Excellence awards seek to highlight the use of best practice in local government and show how IT has been used both effectively and innovatively to deliver best value public services. They are very highly respected and winners deservedly receive a great deal of kudos. Ericom is very proud to be associated with them and we wish all entrants the very best of luck.”
