New GOSS software to help with Public Sector efficiency savings

GOSS iCM (intelligent Content Management) version 9, an upgrade to the Web Content Management Solution built by GOSS Interactive launched.

The solution allows local authorities and other public sector organisations to drive efficiency savings by delivering more services online, resulting in potential savings of up to £200,000 for clients.

Tom Stirling, New Media Officer at North Yorkshire Police, comments; "We're delighted with the new features in GOSS iCM v9. The forms designer in particular is very powerful, and is allowing us to create complex, transactional forms. This means that we don't need to rely on expensive third-party products to provide our forms.

"The enhanced media management features help us maintain and improve our image and video libraries - particularly important for a police force where photographs and CCTV play an important part in the fight against crime."
