About the Role

The Project

The current MyCity Directory is an online environment providing Salford citizens with a centralised point of access to local area service providers and related events.

The directory is categorised to deliver information on Services and Groups, Childcare, the Local Offer (services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities and their parents/carers), and Adult Care and Support.

The directory aims to deliver a comprehensive and up-to-date environment for the promotion and listing of services and event-based activities available to Salford citizens alongside appropriate static information and external links to important resources, information and national services.

As well as delivering on the local authority’s statutory requirements the directory is a vital source of information and advice, bringing together several local government service provision departments. It is therefore itself a service of high strategic value and importance in supporting the work of service providers, front-line officers and in improving overall access to service provision.

The Problem

The current directory is unable to support the council’s roadmap for digital transformation and customer engagement.

The current directory does not have the infrastructure needed to support the development of the customer’s digital experience in finding appropriate service information, nor the infrastructure to embed that experience into other operations associated with streamlining the creation and use of a single digital identity.

As a result, the following are increasingly subject to a deteriorating quality of service:

• Accessibility of information
  
• Quality of signposting and referral pathways
  
• User search experience and relevance of offer
  
• Efficiencies in internal and external data sharing
  
• Quantity and quality of service provider information
  
• User data capture, analysis of service provision and feedback
  

The Solution

The proposal for the Community Platform is to use a microservices approach, rather than a monolithic approach.

The microservices approach separates the services that build up a webapp into their individual components. This allows for the services to be designed, built, tested and implemented individually and allows for individual services to be updated, redesigned or even to fail without causing the whole of the webapp to be affected.

The platform will be a dynamic, centralised information environment with web-services, advanced user functionality and applied intelligence that enhances the user’s experience and increases the accessibility and capacity of local area services.

The solution must be:

• A bespoke platform that delivers ongoing user and data development for Salford City Council, partners and stakeholders.
  
• An accurate, up-to-date information environment with a suite of tools for improving, monitoring and maintaining the quality of the user’s experience.
  
• Responsive to the needs of users, to establish more personalised and effective pathways for advice, referrals, bookings & transactions.
  
• The structure on which data sharing, analysis and intelligence capacity can be built and an evolving statement on accessibility and equality of opportunity.
