Following the acuisition of the OPENRevenues by the Civica Group Ltd this blog will now be re-branded Civica OPENRevenues. There are no plans to make any further changes to the site at this stage.
31 July 2009, London … Civica Group Ltd, a market leader in software-based solutions that help to improve service delivery and efficiency, has announced that Civica UK Limited, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, has acquired the IBS OPENSystems Revenues and Benefits business (“OPENRevenues”) from Capita Group Plc. The business has been renamed Civica OPENRevenues.
Based in Newbury, Civica OPENRevenues specialises in software systems and services for the local government market. Its highly rated product family, which enables the management and collection of council tax and non-domestic rates together with the provision of housing and council tax benefits, is used by more than 60 local authorities across the UK.
Following the acquisition, the Civica group now supplies 94 per cent of the 407 local authorities in Great Britain including more than 170 Revenues and Benefits customers.
Simon Downing, Civica chief executive, said, “I am delighted to welcome the OPENRevenues business into the Civica group. The acquisition adds specialist capability and expertise to Civica’s current activities in an important and highly visible area for local government. With a market-leading product and service portfolio across front and back office, complemented by business process, systems integration and IT managed service expertise, the group is well placed to help customers meet increasingly pressing service and efficiency challenges.”
Bill Loughrey, formerly managing director of the IBS Group, joins as managing director of Civica OPENRevenues. Loughrey said, “This acquisition is a very positive step in the development of the business. OPENRevenues has a proven reputation for developing strong customer relationships, and has provided the product of choice for many customers that have come to market over the last 8 years. I look forward to continuing our product and support programmes while building on the broader capabilities of the Civica group to deliver increasing value to customers.”
The set of specialist applications provided by the enlarged Civica group includes leading products for workflow and document management, administration of council tax, non-domestic rates and benefits, and associated applications including fraud management, mobile working, performance management analysis, on-line forms capability and internet portal facilities for both internal and external users.
