City Council implements software to enhance services
The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is rolling out its tax and revenue generating software programme that

will assist the entity in making payments more accessible to all.
According to the designer of the project and Chief Executive Officer of Innovate Systems Inc. Richard Langford, a new software has been developed to assist the M&CC which is titled revenue collection management system.
“The scope of the software is not only about revenue collection, it covers expenses and some of the outstanding features include the ability to store images of properties to assist with tracking inspections. The web based application will eventually will be rolled out online,” he said.
He explained that eventually persons will be able to make payments via the internet using the services of Paypal and GTT amongst others.
Langford said the software encompasses the full accounting cycle and has other modules that can be linked to it that includes human resources and payroll.
“The software will be able to track all the business processes starting from the entry point right through to the end point.”
He explained that the Council is on a drive to generally improve its services and because the database is very deficient. The new software will allow multiple users to speed up transactions, overcome space constraints, security and eventually make various payments.
He explained that balances and budgets can be done much quicker with the system since it’s a full accounting cycle.
According to M&CC Public Relations Officer, Debra Lewis, the software programme will allow the M&CC to have a more integrated approach which would alleviate the burden of having persons visit the Council in person in order to make payments.
She said that the programme will also assist in accountability.
