Public Sector

In the public sector, cost pressures, citizen demands and central government directives are the top three drivers for digital transformation. We understand that the aim is to increase efficiency and improve citizens experience of government service. Most public organisations agree that a cohesive user experience is necessary for success; but to achieve this requires a strategy for Digital Transformation to deliver positive end-user experiences. 

Rocktime has developed versoTM as a license automation and case management system as part of its investment in the Public Sector which has become an award winning market leading proposition for local authorities.

Document Management

Creating Intelligent, Scalable Solutions For Document And Multimedia Storage And Archiving

Insurance, legal, finance or even public facing forms, documents and multi-media assets make up a big part of the administrative processes in the public sector.

Keeping control of these assets can be a challenge for local authorities of all sizes. Business units can quickly become bogged down by both paper based documents and their electronic counterparts. And with archiving laws demanding even more forms being properly stored for many years. It's time for a fresh approach.

Rocktime create intelligent document storage systems that are both scale-able and robust. Using the latest browser based technology we have been commissioned to create document management and archiving systems for both private and public sector clients alike. 

Typical features include:

  • Full integration with scanner / copier software APIs
  • Permission based access allows named person access to secure documents
  • Scalable & Searchable
  • Full version control and workflow management
  • Personal / departmental or project based hierarchical navigation
  • Full local desktop integration allows drag and drop storage and notifications

Bespoke Digital Assets

With the boundaries between work and play becoming ever more blurred, and service users having a wide range of connected devices local authorities have never had a better opportunity to move more services online. The business case for online delivery is clear. Reduced workload on internal staff reduced avoidable contact, greater accountability and scalability and simplification of complex business processes.

But what about if your service requires an online solution that is not available out of the box what if your service has a tight delivery deadline or requires specialist integration

Rocktime works with a number of public and private sector clients to consult on, scope design and build bespoke business systems that allow them to move complex process online.

Getting the right system in place requires a well thought out strategy. This process starts with getting to know you, the project stakeholders and the target audience. To do this we need to understand the vision of your business unit and your level of understanding of the digital world as well as your challenges and timescales.

We build the relationship based on consulting with you to educate, inform and solve your business problems using digital excellence and the latest technology.

We understand that your requirements of us will differ from our other clients therefore we work with you to identify where you are on the digital maturity cycle so that we are able to offer you the service that you require.

Our digital expertise allows us to engage with you at senior board, management or department level to help define your goals and ambitions and then hone solutions to enable you to realise them. We work within local, government officers as well as cabinet offices to plan, develop and deliver bespoke business systems.
