Digital innovation gap<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Society has become much more digital-centric in its communication during the 21st century. The private sector has done fairly well at adapting to customer expectations for digital innovation and opportunities. However, the government and public sectors have not kept up due to bureaucratic processes, budgetary concerns, and other systemic factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The impact of antiquated communications systems was glaring during the onset of the pandemic when it became difficult (or even impossible) for people to interact with government agencies in person. While some agencies worked to adapt, there wasn\u2019t enough time for most to put the necessary systems in place to keep up with digital communication demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>How RingCentral helps close the digital innovation gap:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral is a best-in-class<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/sg\/en\/office\/industry-solutions\/government-agencies.html#community\"><b>Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> designed to integrate your communication efforts across all channels. It provides the foundation necessary to support your team in handling digital communication demands. It is a critical starting point for upgrading your tech infrastructure to adapt permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"Cross-channel\"><\/a>2. Cross-channel access<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One reason government agencies have delayed the digital transformation is their concerns about resource limitations. Agencies already operate with staff shortages, so the idea of serving the public on all popular communications channels seemed impossible or impractical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This thinking is tied to the notion that you need dedicated agents or staff to manage conversations on each individual channel. Typical agencies don\u2019t have the people or budgets to manage communications that way. The answer, therefore, has often been to do nothing and stick with status quo methods of interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>How RingCentral helps improve cross-channel access:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/sg\/en\/office\/industry-solutions\/government-agencies.html#community\"><b>RingCentral\u2019s CCaaS technology<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is designed to streamline communications across all popular channels. It enables seamless transitions from conversations on one channel to interactions on another. Therefore, individual agents can manage communication activities on all popular channels through one system. This integrated solution means your staff can do more with less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"Responsiveness\"><\/a>3. Responsiveness and efficiency<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Governments are often viewed as unresponsive and inefficient by the public. This point is evidenced in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/~\/media\/McKinsey\/Industries\/Public%20and%20Social%20Sector\/Our%20Insights\/The%20public%20sector%20gets%20serious%20about%20customer%20experience\/The-public-sector-gets-serious-about-customer-experience-final.pdf\"><b>customer experience survey<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conducted in several countries. The data is clear that the public regards its experience with governments as being far inferior to those with the top private sector organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52581\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/government-chart.jpeg\" alt=\"Chart titled &quot;Most governments underperform in customer satisfaction&quot; with data from France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.\" width=\"930\" height=\"514\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of response, or delayed responses, tie into issues of accessibility to top communications channels and resource inefficiencies. Governments are usually slower to adopt due to systemic processes that lack innovative thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One example is the difficulty many states faced in handling the large volumes of unemployment claims resulting from the COVID crisis. A<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/blog\/lessons-learned-when-pandemic-led-rapidly-rising-unemployment-claims\"><b>U.S. Government Accountability Office report<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> highlighted some of the communication challenges the states faced during the pandemic:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese challenges included the overwhelming volume of claims submitted by historic numbers of unemployed workers, shortages of experienced staff, and IT issues. This caused backlogs and meant that some individuals seeking UI benefits (or claimants) went months without income. Many of the claimants we spoke with in seven of these ten states told us they faced customer service difficulties, such as long call wait times and benefit payment delays. Some reported that they had to draw on savings or borrow money to meet basic financial needs while they waited for benefits.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>How RingCentral helps with responsiveness and efficiency:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminating inefficiencies and optimizing responsiveness are among the primary objectives and advantages of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/sg\/en\/office\/industry-solutions\/government-agencies.html#community\"><b>RingCentral CCaaS and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Citizens and staff can more easily navigate interactions across channels, skill-based routing allows people to get to the right agent immediately, record-keeping is organized and easy to use, and agent transfers during contacts are quick and painless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"promotion\"><\/a>4. Meeting and event promotion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local government employees often get frustrated by a lack of citizen engagement, including participation in meetings and events. However, many issues with engagement stem from poor communication and information sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>How RingCentral helps with promotion efforts:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the efficiency gains of RingCentral, your communications and promotion agents can concentrate information dissemination on the most in-demand channels. Agencies can distribute newsletters, announcements, and other information across multiple channels to optimize reach and reinforce messaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"Equitable\"><\/a>5. Equitable access<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the previous issue with citizen engagement, the federal government (including the White House) has prioritized inclusive access across all levels of government operations. This means that government agencies need to do better at ensuring all people have fair access to information and resources. Governments have had difficulty in this area historically due to limitations in reliable internet access, technology gaps, and other obstacles. However, these issues are being addressed with relief and infrastructure bill funding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>How RingCentral helps with equitable access:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using infrastructure funding to boost your digital communications system complements improved broadband access. These combined forces improve your citizen outreach efforts to engage with all constituents in an equitable way.
