Overview
To the average citizen, there may not
seem like much is going on in town —but there usually is. The question
is "How can we find out what is happening?" Many municipalities have
made an effort to provide information in the form of annual calendars and quarterly
newsletters. Now, many town websites are providing more. But the fact is most
of us are not able to understand or follow the ongoing activities,
even though we are an essential part of the community we live in.
At the heart of improving communications are two general areas for improvement.
First, make the process of entering news and information is easier. If more
information is added and updated, the cost of responding to
phone and other inquiries can actually be reduced. Second, if visitors can
get information in an easy way, they are more likely to follow and understand
what is happening.
ConnectedCommunications specifically addresses these issues by providing several
integrated features. These features allow easy access to managing news
and information for the town while providing many options to view or receive
news for the curious visitor. By making the process easier, a world of information
becomes available. Demand for information usually affects the
quality and quantity of information — satisfying both local government and
the public.
