  • Efficient means of transfer of knowledge and expertise from one person to another
  • Tool will also be used for processes involving change within the organisation in order to improve internal and external service.
Background to the pilot: 

Within the boundaries of introducing a contact centre for the town of Kortrijk (1 central and unique telephone number for FAQ on services) we are currently introducing a new version (upgrade) of the process flow software “mavim”.
Aim is to connect the product catalogue on our website (front) and our Intranet with the internal processes of our organisation (back office) via the latter.
In doing so we are constantly trying to improve our services for citizens.
In order to realize this project, we visited the contact center of Oldenburg which uses its website as primary source of information to deliver service to its clients. Processes are there being introduced via a specialized tool into the website.
Via the website citizens will in future also be able to access their “my page”.
