eBenefits Launched

Following the successful partnership with RBT Connect, Northgate, Ruleburst and Comino the commercial eBenefits system was officially launched at an event held at Rotherham Town Hall on 6th June 2006. Mike Cuff, Chief Executive of the Council commented:

“We are proud that we have led the transition from national project to a national benefit services product. eBenefits offers the potential to both revolutionise benefits services and bring substantial savings to local councils. Without a doubt this will offer local government the opportunity to re-think how they deliver not just their benefits services but other front-line services as the level of savings that are achievable from eBenefits can be invested into other service areas.

“Our engagement with RBT Connect and Northgate is evidence that public private partnerships of this nature can play a major role in delivering innovative services built around the individual needs of every citizen, whilst delivering more for less to local communities.“
