BIS Recognised for Maximising Direct Connections With the Public Through
Digital Communications
LONDON, 2012-06-06 11:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
GovDelivery announced today that the Department for Business, Innovation and
Skills (BIS) was recently awarded the Excellence in Digital Communications
Award. Focused on supporting sustained growth and higher skills across the
British economy, BIS was recognised by GovDelivery for its innovative work in
leveraging technology to improve communication to better serve citizens and
stakeholders.
BIS launched GovDelivery Digital Communication Management (DCM) in 2008 in an
effort to communicate more directly with UK residents and increase citizen
engagement. The department leverages DCM's automation capabilities, social
media integration and the unique GovDelivery Network to increase stakeholder
outreach across multiple communication channels while effectively managing time
and resources.
'We originally engaged GovDelivery to help us reach out to stakeholders and
keep them updated about the Department's activities. This worked very well, so
towards the end of last year we decided to take it to the next level, to
maximise the value we - and subscribers - gain from the platform,' said John
Turnbull, Web Manager at BIS. 'We did a number of things to drive
participation, including providing subscribers with a much broader and more
granular range of subscriptions and using the GovDelivery Network to connect
with other government entities to broaden our reach. The results have been
impressive and demonstrate the power of DCM's ability to help us reach the
widest possible audience.'
BIS currently has more than 32,000 stakeholders signed up to receive alerts,
who collectively subscribe to more than 450,000 individual topic subscriptions.
The department continues to gain up to 3,000 new subscriptions per day using
best practices and collaboration techniques.
'We congratulate BIS on its innovative approach to connecting with its
stakeholders,' said Dave Worsell, Director of Government Solutions at
GovDelivery. 'We're proud to continue to help government agencies leverage the
power of digital communications to reach more people more effectively than ever
before possible.'
