Challenge
The functions of the Tax Administration are critical components of collecting, recognizing, and managing revenue in local governments. The Tax Administration Division at the county level is in charge of enrolling and accessing tangible personal property for individuals and businesses, as well as billing and collecting current and delinquent real and tangible personal property taxes and licenses, among other things. The Taxpayer services Team, which needed a solution to better track KPIs and taxpayer contacts, answers taxpayer questions. They were looking for a low-cost, easy-to-implement contact center solution.
Solution
Prince William County implemented the ConnectPath and Amazon Connect solution, and as their needs expanded beyond a single team, they continued to expand the platform to include additional divisions. The solution implemented included custom integration and features developed in the ConnectPath platform specifically for the use case of Prince William County.
Benefits
ConnectPath provides a single, intuitive interface to agents, contact center supervisors, system administrators, and back-office employees across multiple divisional teams, and has streamlined operational processes such as real-time contact monitoring and reporting on their effectiveness in providing citizen services. We were able to provide context around technical challenges they encountered using our cross-customer insights, reducing time to resolution. Finally, as the division's needs changed over time, ConnectPath was able to support them by responding to specific feature requests and proactively releasing features aligned with local government needs. The solution also enabled the customer to make better use of the entire Amazon Web Services eco-system in order to better serve their customers.
