The Public Sector faces continually faces tougher and more demanding challenges.

Our team has first hand experience of working in organisations across the public sector. Through this understanding, we can work with you to help deliver tangible results that can have a positive impact both on your organisation and on those who use your services.
e-Government
The basic underlying aims of e-Government include making services:
- more accessible (social inclusion);
- more convenient;
- more responsive (faster);
- more cost-effective;
- more 'joined-up' (information management); and
- more geared towards staff and customer satisfaction
The introduction of Integra as a modern financial management and procurement solution will ably assist this process.
Meeting e-Government Targets
Our financial management software, procurement and e-Business solutions utilises the very latest technology and supports deployment via 'thin client' access and via the web. Development plans include the extension of the system in the areas most relevant to e-commerce and use via the web under the banner of Integra e-Series. Our participation in projects with the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and the Office of the e-Envoy equips us with an understanding of the requirements in this regard.
The standard application suite includes functionality that enables our customers to meet the target of 100% electronic service delivery. These include common electronic communications methods such as BACS, Direct Debit and also incorporate extended desktop integration with e-mail, word processing and spreadsheet packages.
The system complies, where appropriate, with the Government's e-GIF (e-Government Interoperability Framework) and BASDA (Business Application Software Developers Association) XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) standards.
As an extension of the standard application, Integra e-Series comprises a comprehensive suite of easy to use web based data entry and enquiry options written in the latest development tools. The suite is focused on delivery of required functionality to remote and occasional users of the finance or procurement system in a 'self-service' environment and provides a cost effective modern technological solution.
