GHD Digital leading the way in customer experience in municipalities
 
The mission 
Citizens have always been the driving force and guiding principle behind every decision made on online experiences. Staff collected user input, both in person and virtually, through user testing sessions to verify the design and functional concepts. Through these public engagement opportunities, staff learned that 70 percent of Kitchener residents prefer to complete transactions online but could not always find what they were looking for.
 
The challenge 
More than 5,500 citizens and staff informed the City that one of the most important service improvements the City could make would be to make more services available online and preferably, in one central place. Staff at the City of Kitchener were tasked with creating a centralized municipal self-serve platform where citizens can find information about their unique needs in one centralized and easy-to-use place.

The solution 
GHD Digital helped the City’s digital transformation team to seamlessly integrate the digital tools and services that the City offers through its website. Bringing all the municipal information and updates citizens care about into one convenient place, the secure, single sign-on dashboard uses existing user data to tailor municipal content related to existing preferences, behaviors, and interactions. By seamlessly integrating with the digital tools and services that the City of Kitchener offers through its website, GHD Digital and the digital transformation team at Kitchener developed a customized Citizen Portal dashboard that Kitchener residents could modify based on their interests and needs. Bringing all the municipal information and updates they care about into one convenient place, the secure, single sign-on dashboard uses existing user data to tailor municipal content related to existing preferences, behaviors, and interactions.
 
The result 
The MyKitchener portal offers a streamlined path to city services, products and engagement. Municipal information is now more discoverable, accessible, and relevant through a centralized and personalized experience, and content is delivered in a way that not only increases transparency and trust but also encourages engagement among citizens.
 
For the client – This new platform and portal enabled the client to their digital transformation efforts, improving service levels and reducing costs.
 
For the end-user – Thousands of citizens are able to easily access city services, pay for property taxes and so much more, all from the comfort of their homes.
 
The impact for GHD Digital
 
Citizen Portal is a game-changer for our company. We forecast that this product will be one of our fastest-growing opportunities. Increased demand from public sector organizations for solutions that help them with their digital transformation, combined with few competitors capable of delivering an integrated solution, leaves significant value for us to capitalize.
 
New Awards CTAAside from revenue growth, our customers are continuing to speak positively about Citizen Portal and its ability to connect them with their citizens. This positive sentiment can be best summarized through a recent quote from the Mayor of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Berry Vrbanovic - "The MyKitchener portal will forever change the way citizens interact with the City”.
