In response to COVID-19 regulations permitting Local Government Councils to hold meetings electronically have been introduced across Australia.
With Council and Committee meetings no longer being held face-to-face, digital communications has become even more crucial.
Local Government staff and councillors are adapting to working from home and are now reliant upon digital technology such as teleconferencing, video conferencing and remote access to documentation.
Harbour Software is well equipped to facilitate online Council meetings utilizing the Live Voting feature offered by Docs On Tap. The feature provides Local Government Authorities with the necessary tools to enable Elected Members to vote in Council Meetings online so they can continue to serve their community.
Live Voting with Docs On Tap and Doc Assembler
Prompt and effective communication is critical during this unprecedented time.
Docs On Tap is a web application that is hosted in the cloud and enables users to access Council documents (such as agendas and minutes) from any location. The application also features a Live Voting function which ensures Councils in Australia can continue to adopt a ‘business as usual’ approach and simply move their decision making process online.
Docs On Tap’s Live Voting feature is integrated seamlessly with Doc Assembler, meaning Elected Members can use the app to vote online and their preference is captured in the automated minute-taking process in Doc Assembler.
