Government efforts – be they in terms of something like law enforcement or just the daily activities that make our communities safer – depend on communication and collaboration above all else. Imagine a situation where everyone – from employees to administrators to even external partners – had instant access to real-time, accurate and actionable information by way of a secure city intranet architecture.

You can stop imagining. That situation is here and it’s possible thanks to SmartCity by Adventos™.

Introducing SmartCity by Adventos™: Your Key To Maximized Efforts and Improved Outcomes

SmartCity by Adventos™ is more than just a city intranet. It’s a single solution that instantly unlocks a wide range of different benefits, including but not limited to ones like:

• Vastly improved communication and collaboration.
• Far, far better customer service response.
• Increased productive hours in every day.
• Dramatically reduced administrative hours.
• Improved employee job satisfaction across the board.

The city intranet functionality of SmartCity by Adventos™ is broken down into six core sections: Departments, Employees, Projects, Policies, Training and Community.

For the first time, department teams can collaborate via a literal community of practice sites. This makes it easier than ever to accomplish essential but time consuming tasks like accessing payroll, human resources and other benefits information, tracking projects, tasks, resources and so much more.

Not only that, but by having access to a single location that contains all of this information it increases accountability and transparency in an instant. Policies and procedures can all be managed by way of one sleek, sophisticated and state-of-the-art user interface. Document sign-offs and compliance information are captured for all time and accessible at a moment’s noticed. You can see what type of training content has been made available, see who is currently engaged in which activity and view historical records dating back years depending on the situation.

The best part of all is that the city intranet capabilities of SmartCity by Adventos™ offer secure access to the people who need it the most – both in terms of internal members of your own organization and with regards to external partners or other key constituents. If your agency is currently participating in a very important public/private partnership, for example, everyone can have access to the same information at the same time from ANY device on planet Earth with an Internet connection – all without worrying about the types of security issues that could potentially bring progress to its proverbial knees.

But as a tool, SmartCity by Adventos™ and the city intranet capabilities you can now enjoy don’t just have a community impact – they have a significant business impact, as well. Not only do you have a unique opportunity to empower members of your staff by guaranteeing access to the right tool for the right job at the right time, but you also get to mitigate operational risks, improve effectiveness and reduce costs all at once.

SmartCity by Adventos™ is a single, beautiful starting point to easily locate ALL information across an agency – whether you happen to be a member of that agency or you’re a community partner working closer to make your neighborhoods safer no longer matters. Those silos that previously existed amongst employees and across locations have finally been broken down, both for now and for all time. You don’t just get to create opportunities for collaboration amongst employees – you get to promote and empower it. You make it not a recommended option, but the obvious and most appropriate option.

SmartCity by Adventos™ also effortlessly integrates with Microsoft Project Online or any other third party project management tools that you may already be using.

In terms of government efforts, any opportunity that you have to maximize what you’re doing and guarantee superior outcomes is an opportunity that is more than worth taking. Though we may be biased, we at Adventos believe that SmartCity™ is that opportunity for the modern era.
