E-Gov Link

Is lack of funding, technical expertise, or time preventing you from offering e-government services to your community?

 For many local governments, e-government has been a valuable tool for increasing productivity and reducing costs. For others, however, these benefits cannot be realized because of a lack of funds, technical expertise, and staff. E-Gov Link addresses these issues by providing all of the most popular e-government applications in a single, affordable package.

Tom Carroll, city manager, City of Loveland, put it well when talking about the barriers to e-government adoption:

"In a nutshell it's staffing and cost. Most small cities are adequately staffed to handle the day-to-day workload, but they are not staffed to implement new programs and change the way business is done. It's definitely a barrier. So the solution normally taken is to hire extra staff, and then it becomes a budgetary issue. Those are the two major challenges. It's either time or money, and most local governments have a shortage of both."

E-Gov Link provides e-government solutions to help local governments use Web technology to improve citizen service and reduce costs. Affordable fees are renewable each year to match budgeting cycles. No long-term contracts required. All E-Gov packages are integrated with your current website, using your logo and colors. We can optionally tailor to your special needs, such as integration with your back end systems and databases. E-Gov Link can be set up quickly at our world-class hosting facility with few demands on your internal resources.

Look at some of the benefits our customers reported:

• Improved communication with the community
• Provides easy access to documents (permits, forms, etc) 24/7
• Reduced number of phone calls and visits to City Hall
• Convenience of online payments 24/7

E-Gov Link has a variety of packages specifically designed for local governments that have limited resources – technical, financial and available time. E-Gov Link is easy to use, and needs no technical expertise. You can spread the load by allowing different departments to manage their own information, but provides the necessary security so only authorized personnel can update and upload information to your site.
