"the specialists in local authority smartcard solutions"
Bracknell Forest Council have been announced as one of the finalists in this year’s e-Government National Awards. The highly sought-after awards recognise excellence across eleven categories, highlighting the UK’s top public sector innovators in the use of technology, enabling businesses and citizens to better communicate with councils, central government, NHS and other public sector organisations.
SmartCitizen have been selected to assist the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham as they implement their innovative Streetbase Connect Youth Card scheme.
The card, being launched by Barking and Dagenham Council and NHS Barking and Dagenham, will give users access to health, leisure, youth and library services across the area and will also be used to access school meals.
SmartCitizen is a Cornwall based technology company providing a complete range of solutions to government agencies considering building or evolving card schemes. We offer business and technical consultancy, technology, card supply and personalisation and fully managed services. No job is too small, we are frequently called in to help develop business cases, and later find ourselves managing a full card scheme rollout programme.
To be sustainable, a smart card scheme needs to be properly integrated into a local authority’s IT infrastructure, and frequently this includes legacy applications. SmartCitizen believes in a low risk incremental approach, providing rapid results using existing architectures where possible, and only moving to major rollouts when business benefits have been properly demonstrated. We have a network of business partners with whom we work to ensure that our customers obtain the cost effective results they seek.
