You can give your managers and agents a comprehensive view of constituent data, including constituent details, products and services, assets, service contracts, and entitlements.
Overview of data management
Data is the backbone of the Public Sector Digital Services application, connecting constituent, product, service, and team information, giving agents and managers a complete view of every interaction. From constituent profiles and services received to service contracts and entitlements, Public Sector works to bring citizen data together to enable fast resolutions and consistent service support.
The info-graphic illustrates the public service value chain, highlighting how agencies deliver benefits and services to constituents through different internal and external entities.
At the core, a service agency can provide both physical and digital products and services. These offerings are delivered through one or more service organizations, each of them containing employees and staff working in user-facing or back-office roles.
Some service organizations operate with physical, tangible products (for example, fixing a pothole), while others rely on digital products and services (for example, issuing a license or permit). Regardless of format, everything within this chain exists to serve the constituents of the area.
Data Management acts as the foundation of this value chain, capturing and organizing constituent and business details, including accounts, contacts, consumers, and households, allowing service organizations to personalize interactions, communicate more effectively, and provide faster resolutions. Constituent and business profiles can be linked with products, services, entitlements, and cases, confirming that agents and managers have a 360-degree view of the issue at hand. Data Management links the government agency, its service organization(s), staff, and the constituents they serve through accurate information that powers each stage of service delivery.
