A Cyber City
Issy has developed a proactive policy to build a local information society which is innovative and open to all.
A "hooked-up" and Internet-literate population
Issy residents are the very first to test new technologies: mobile TV, fibre optic Internet access (FTTH), powerline communication (CPL), mobile remote support for the elderly, mobile phone payment of parking fees, online payment of school meals…
State-of-the-art administrative services
Remote procedures, electronic procurement contracts system, outsourcing of information systems, call centre, online training for municipal staff, IRIS (citizen relational management tool): the modernisation of local administration is a reality.
More effective communication
Issy.com and Issy.TV, the first ever local Web TV channel, tools for a modern approach to communication. Access practical information, gather more extensive details regarding local information and news, use the Web site to present personal pages or question local politicians, get informed about the municipal budget by looking up the on-line financial report, combined with computer animation for children between 9 and 14 years of age.
A range of new services for everyday life:
Cyber-nurseries, cyber-tearooms for the elderly, mobile services, cyber-company incubators, videoconferencing with one's children away at holiday camps, PUCI multi-service smart card for paying school meals and making reservations for leisure centres, digital creation at the Cube, the Digital Fortress project, Geographic Information System, online ordering of documents.
Greater transparency in local democracy
Strengthen citizen participation and improve local democracy through the use of information and communication technologies have been openly displayed objectives since the launch of the Interactive Municipal Council. A Citizen’s Panel has been put together to record the views of the population on various subjects of local interest. The participatory budget and Internet voting have been introduced for meetings of the neighbourhood councils.
