Content Management for Local Authorities

With nearly 40 UK local authority customers and over 20 other UK public bodies, Immediacy has a large and growing public sector customer base.

 

We put this success down to a number of factors:

 

  • Very easy to use content editing tool and management suite
  • The ability to create and manage highly accessible standards compliant websites
  • Support for the IPSV taxonomy and eGif compliance
  • A pre-built "Public Sector Solution" designed to address the specific needs of public sector organisations

 

Accessibilty

The Immediacy content editor is very easy to use and requires almost no training for anyone familiar with standard office applications. The software prompts users to enter information such as descriptions for images and tables to comply with accessibilty standards.

 

Our in-line compliance checker also scans each page to ensure that the required standards have been followed. The compliance checker can be configured to enforce A, AA, AAA levels of accessibility.

 

Fast and Powerful Search

Immediacy is supplied with a fast, flexible search engine to help your visitors find the information they are looking for. Even with 10,000+ pages on your site, our search will return search results almost instantly.

 

IPSV, Taxonomy management and Auto categorisation

We provide powerful and easy to use tools for managing and updating standard taxonomies such as IPSV. 

 

We also provide our fully integrated Immediacy Categorisation Engine (ICE) which can automatically apply IPSV categories to content managed web pages and other documents. Custom taxonomies can also be created and automatically applied.

 

Document management

To enable the management and publication of documents to the web we recommend our document management repository. This enables publication, versioning, permissions, workflow and searching of almost any kind of document on your website.

 

Scalable

Immediacy is highly scalable and can handle very high traffic loads with reasonable hardware.

 

Developers

Immediacy websites can be developed and extended by developers with standard Microsoft .NET development skills. Developers with only skills in HTML / CSS can still achieve considerable results with out needing to become .NET developers.

 

Free Intranet ?

The Immediacy licence allows you host Immediacy on at least 2 servers, with as many websites as you like. This allows you to (for example) run an intranet, extranet and internet site without paying additional licence fees. Many of our customers have re-purposed their internet site development to effectively create an intranet for free.

 

Implementation Partners

We have an extensive global network of implementation partners who are highly experienced at delivering high quality Immediacy solutions to government organisations. We will be pleased to work with you to select an appropriate implementation partner based on your geographical location and project requirements.
