Northamptonshire County Council Fire and Rescue Service Tackles Process Efficiency

OpenText Business Process Management efficiently and effectively provides greater process automation, audit, and reporting, which reduces administration overhead

The solution saves a huge amount of time. We don’t have to schedule large groups of people to attend meetings. Multiple feedback requests can be triggered in parallel, and there’s a much greater degree of automation. We can query and check statuses and easily compile a report once information has been received.

Peter Meredith, Information and Communications Systems Manager, Northamptonshire County Council Fire and Rescue Service

  • Expensive and time-consuming to modify core system processes
  • Improving processes to support Health and Safety requirements, Data Protection, and security

  • Process updates much faster to implement, with lower associated costs
