IT plays a key role at municipality Groningen
Richard Bakker, Groningen Operations: “IT plays a key role at Municipality Groningen. It is impossible to imagine working without the various software applications from the AMCS platform. For more than 20 years, we have been loyal users of their software and we know how to get the best out of it. It has brought us many benefits. It is something you no longer consciously think about as it has become a normal part of the job.
Challenge
Our greatest challenge at the time was to centralize all branches of our service in a single system. Each service branch used to work with its own software. Obviously, a lot of effort was needed to integrate everything into a centralized system but everything went very smoothly using AMCS’ Platform. Read moreChallenge
Centralize all branches
Richard Bakker, Groningen Operations: “Our greatest challenge at the time was to centralize all branches of our service in a single system. Each service branch used to work with its own software. Obviously, a lot of effort was needed to integrate everything into a centralized system, but everything went very smoothly using AMCS’ Enterprise Management back-office software.
Over the years, we have been able to automate a great deal; activities such as cleaning, household waste collection, wheelie bins, waste disposal, commercial business activities, grids and manholes, underground containers, personnel and timesheets, routes plans, etc. In addition, we collect lots of data, analyze it and put optimization measures in place using the management information gathered from the reports.
