UK councils to share Web content
The company says few councils have realised the benefits in terms of cost-cutting and improved content management that joining these two approaches could bring.
“Spending cuts are forcing public sector organisations to embrace self-service as a tool to deliver effective services at low cost. But very few local councils have considered sharing resources when it comes to their websites,” says Socitm in a ComputerWorld report.
Socitm's annual report on council Web sites entitled: 'Better connected 2011', says sharing Web site content is an “obvious solution” to keeping up-to-date the large number of pages found on council Web sites.
UK Authority.com indicates how using syndicated content from the three UK government Web sites; Directgov, Businesslink and NHS Choices, is a further means by which local Web site content can be improved at a time when local government resources may be scarce.
