City of Chicago Transforms its 311 System with Catalyst Consulting Group and Salesforce
Catalyst Consulting Group recognized in Salesforce Partner Innovation Awards
CHICAGO, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Catalyst Consulting Group announced that it has collaborated with the City of Chicago to transform its legacy non-emergency 311 system by bringing it into the cloud with Salesforce.
For this work, Catalyst has been named a recipient of the Salesforce Partner Innovation Award in the Public Sector/Government category. The award was presented at Dreamforce 2019.
Launched in December 2018, the City's modernized new 311, called "CHI311," introduced a collaborative and increasingly paper-free digital work order management system for City staff and field workers, as well as a public-facing web-based Community Portal and the City's first-ever public-facing mobile app to submit and track service requests. These platforms work in harmony to cultivate a City-resident relationship rooted in transparency, accountability and responsiveness.
Reflecting on the win, Catalyst's Managing Principal and Chief Operating Officer Tim Smith remarked, "The Catalyst team is humbled to be a part of this amazing group of Salesforce partners being recognized for their contributions to innovation. The confidence that the City of Chicago placed in us to design, build and implement this solution to bring about a large-scale digital transformation was a responsibility that we did not take lightly. The collective commitment shown by the City of Chicago and Catalyst to build an outstanding 311 on Salesforce, coupled with the support and validation we received from the citizens of Chicago since we've gone live, has made launching this system truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my career."
Derrick L. Brownlee, Managing Deputy CIO of the City of Chicago, added, "We are excited to hear that Catalyst has been selected to receive the Salesforce Partner Innovation Award. We are very proud to have had the opportunity to partner with Catalyst to implement Salesforce to build our new 311 system. Our most sincere congratulations and nice work."
"The work that our Partner Innovation Awards winners do to drive customer success deserves to be celebrated," said Tyler Prince, Executive Vice President, Industries & Partners, Salesforce. "Companies across every industry are increasingly turning to the cloud and to trusted partners to guide them through their digital transformation journeys."
