SOLUS Government

We provide an invaluable communications solution to Local Councils across the country. In a market where cost saving and best value is critical, SOLUS provides a cross Council digital solution that maximises efficiency and resonates with the E-Government agenda.

Local Councils have a vast information distribution requirement, and traditional methods for getting this information to the public (local newspapers, council publications, notice boards and leaflet distribution) are out of date and increasingly unsuccessful. SOLUS is the solution.

  • Department & Service Announcements – Key information for the public e.g. recycling, planning, social work, leisure, community education, what’s on and business information
  • Cross Service Promotion – e.g. Use the leisure centre to promote events in the theatre, or library and encourage greater use of these facilities.
  • Recruitment – Reduce cost from external recruitment advertising and generate easy to process digital applications
  • Chief Executive & Departmental Announcements – Broadcast ‘state of the nation’ addresses, achievements and successes
  • Digital Signage – Building directions, information and warnings
  • Community Safety – Crime prevention, feel good messaging
  • Tourism – Promote attractions, encourage visitors to stay in the area longer and return
  • Economic Development and Regeneration – Use systems to change perception, promote civic pride, enhance the fabric, and encourage local business start up
  • Community Engagement & Participation – Encourage community involvement, response and positive service suggestions
  • Cross Partnership Working – Promote relevant partner agency messaging from the Police & Fire services and the NHS
  • Emergency Messaging – Warn, inform and advise the public in the event of an emergency
  • Staff Information – Get immediate information to staff in remote buildings and on-the-move
  • Corporate Communications & Positive PR – Take ownership of local opinion and get the correct information out
  • Justification of Tax Expenditure – Demonstrate the range and quality of services provided
