As a long time supporter of the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE), ROCC has been invited to speak at the APSE Annual Housing and Building Conference on the 30/31 March, Cardiff. The chosen theme for the talk is ‘Taking a Fresh Perspective on Technology to Improve Productivity’. Drawing upon many years of industry knowledge, ROCC will illustrate that increasing productivity in the social housing sector is often dependent on combining people with the appropriate technology.

The speaker - Alan Paget, Partnership Manager - will outline how organisations are using technologies such as mobile data, converged communications and VOIP, 3G, RFID, electronic forms, collaboration tools, web and wireless solutions for frontline service delivery and meeting the ‘efficiency agenda’. He will also outline ‘the possible technologies of tomorrow’ and potential impact on the social housing sector.

ROCC is a UK wide business and has been supplying the local government and social housing sectors for over thirty years. The company has three core competencies – IT software solutions, IT services and telecommunications & consultancy.
