The National Audit Office, in their 2002 study on good practice in public sector websites, ranked local governments according to some 166 positive features that could be found on their sites. Multimap estimates that more than 30 of these features can be added to your site quickly and easily by implementing our mapping and proximity search services.

The three councils that scored highest in the NAO study – Camden, Brent, and Lincolnshire – are all users of Multimap services. Our Case Studies section showcases Brent Council using Multimap’s proximity search service. Brent helps citizens find their nearest local service or amenity from a choice of more than 400 categories. Maps are integrated into most areas of Brent’s comprehensive site.

Hosted web-GIS services support some key initiatives in government:

• Conformance, good practice and efficiency – providing lower cost channels to serve citizens and increasing awareness and utilization of public services. 
• Communication and information – using mapping to provide a widely understood user interface for presenting local information, and integrating relevant searching to help people find exactly what they need, quickly.
• Interaction – allowing citizens to contribute information and feedback, engaging them more actively in improving their community and providing government with timely information so that they can respond more quickly and effectively.

Multimap can help. We provided fully customizable mapping, routing, POI and proximity-search services that integrates seamlessly with your government website. The service is also scaleable: you can start by showing simple maps to pinpoint council offices and libraries, and stay with the same technology to show thousands of categories of information and build interactive services – on web, wireless and PDA.
