The Consultation Portal for Stakeholders has been developed specifically for organisations who need to engage with their community, whether they be local authorities, Local Strategic Partnerships and other public sector organisations, or in the private sector, with a community of suppliers and customers.

Increasingly, you are committed to working more effectively - internally, with your key partners and with the community you serve.

The Consultation Portal allows you to pool data, disseminate information and co-ordinate your engagement with your partners and your community. The key benefits of the system include:

• Engaging your community in continuous consultation
• Broadening your understanding of your community needs
• Optimising your consultation activity
• Identifying and analysing geographic and time-related issues
• Effective sharing of data, information and knowledge
• Simplifying and speeding analysis and access to information
• Managing policies and plans with greater flexibility and insight

The modular design of the Consultation Portal means you can build the system to meet your needs, providing a range of solutions from mini-portal to full private and public portal.

The Data Library and the Scheduler allow you and your partners to see what consultations have taken place and are planned and what the results and outcomes are.

News and Reports allow you to disseminate information, reports, features, key docments and the like, and inform your stakeholders.

Tabulations and Benchmark let you analyse and disseminate your data in an easy to use, point and click way.

The Policy and Performance module allows you to bring it all together and better manage the decision making process.
