Stockport and IEG4 Ltd. win Best IT Initiative Award at LGC Awards 2012
Stockport MBC has done a superlative job of not only implementing our eClaim solution but also of ensuring that the take up rate is at 100%.
So it is great to see Stockport MBC and IEG4 Ltd. in partnership with Civica OpenRevenues winning the prestigious Best IT Initiative award at the LGC Awards 2012. The award related directly to Stockport’s innovative approach to Benefits service delivery with ‘Digital By Default’ as the key philosophy. Supported by the IEG4 product suite, Stockport questioned whether 100% take up of eClaims was possible and delivered with the most resoundingly successful results.

Product DirectorStockport receive 100% of claims electronically
“The transition to an all electronic channel saves the Council at least £66,000 per annum in postage and scanning alone. Savings accrue from a number of areas. We no longer have to print or post forms. Staff no longer have to scan and index received forms, nor do they then have to spend time ‘second-keying’ data from forms into the back office processing system. Write-outs used to be at around 40%, which is pretty good, but, with the IEG4 form, we have reduced that to less than 10%. So there are a lot more claimants getting it right first time. And a lot less time is spent by staff chasing them for information.”
