Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Albany Software, transforms the delivery of documents, data and funds for the public sector

As the public sector continues its drive for enhanced efficiency through the use of ICT, Albany Software continues to provide powerful, integrated solutions to meet the needs of public sector organisations of any type and size.

At GC 2006expo, Albany Software will be presenting its portfolio of software designed to help public sector organisations achieve optimum business efficiency through streamlining business processes, reducing costs and saving time.

One such example is Colchester Borough Council who has implemented multiple Albany solutions (ALBACSip, eCONNECT and ALBANYverify) to enhance their electronic funds payments and electronic document delivery.

Georgia Leybourne, Sales & Marketing Director of Albany Software, comments, "We were delighted to provide Colchester Borough Council with a consolidated platform for their submission and reporting. This subsequently enabled the council to further improve its quality of service to the public and assist in their ongoing strategic goal of meeting the government's eService targets."

The ALBACS suite of software enables organisations to transfer funds electronically via Bacs - the UK's Electronic Funds Transfer clearing house. These solutions replace the traditional paper-based methods of funds transfer, with fast and accurate transactions, taking up less time and creating better efficiency.

eCONNECT is an electronic document delivery solution that greatly increases efficiency by eliminating the need for human intervention and removing the time, money and resources spent on printing documents by distributing invoices and remittances by email and fax.

ALBANYverify performs fast and accurate validation of UK and European bank and credit card details, greatly reducing costly and time consuming errors often associated with data input.

Leybourne concludes, "Our solutions have been proven to bring about efficiency gains demanded by the Government and as a company, we ensure that the process of integrating our solutions into an organisation is straightforward and supported every step of the way."

Many public sector organisations and education establishments have already chosen solutions from Albany Software in order to streamline their business administration, and reduce costs; these include: London Borough of Lewisham, Manchester and Metropolitan University, West Lothian Council, Forest School, Hampshire County Council, Uttlesford District Council, Colchester Borough Council and Winchester Borough Council.
