Digital First Nottinghamshire 
My collegue Matt Louis has passed onto myself your recent blog regarding your use of Umbraco going forward. In this article you talk about also using Achieve, e-forms, self and service to work with Umbraco. Can you tell me whether you are replacing a CRM with the use of the Achieve products. e.g. did you have Lagan or something similar. Many Thanks, Chris Angell, Digital Services Manager, Borough of Poole
Hi Chris – sorry for the late reply on this one. We’ve just begun a project to include the use of Achieve Service into our call centre. We are also developing many customer and internal staff journeys in Achieve Forms to be used in Self, Dash, and Service, on the web and in the call centre. Please feel free to get in touch should you need further information. For a customer service perspective marie.rowney@nottscc.gov.uk, for technical information tom.styles@nottscc.gov.uk. Thanks.
