Dommel Valley organizations ready for November 1 with the Shift2 Woo solution

Pirette Wouters is project leader for the Open Government Act (Woo) for the four Dommel Valley organizations: the municipalities of Geldrop-Mierlo, Nuenen, Son en Breugel, and Dienst Dommelvallei. Here too, they face the challenge of complying with the Open Government Act. This act requires government organizations to actively disclose certain information. A platform is needed to publish this information.

Choosing the Shift2 solution

After conducting research, the organizations opted for a solution that is particularly easy to find and clear for residents, namely that of Shift2. This solution enabled the organizations to quickly and easily get started with the active disclosure obligation. Its implementation was straightforward, and the solution works well with the existing website.

Smooth and rapid implementation

The project went smoothly, thanks in part to the help of the Shift2 team. They came to the location to help with the implementation, and the project was a success. Pirette says, "The collaboration with Shift2 went well. They responded quickly to questions and issues."

All categories were delivered during the project, although the Dommel Valley organizations have not yet published them all. This is because a process has not yet been established for every category. They are working hard on this behind the scenes.

Shift2 offers a clear, straightforward, and practical solution with a solid implementation plan behind it.

Clear, concise, and easy to use

Since the Woo solution went live, everything has gone smoothly. The communications departments responsible for the publications had no problems. They found the solution easy to use. This is also reflected in the statistics. Since its delivery in June, 165 unique visitors have visited the homepageopen.geldrop-mierlo.nl for the Woo at the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo. And 40 people have visited the page to submit a request. Pirette concludes: "Shift2 offers a clear, transparent, and practical solution with a good implementation plan behind it."
