Accenture is an international management and consulting firm that works together with its customers to help them become high-performance governments. The new 311 contract will cover application development and production support services for the coming 5 years. The contract

In future, the work will continue towards offering the people of New York with another channel to control and supervise their interactions with 311 on the net through NYC.gov which is the official website of the city. The aim is to provide a totally complimentary approach, with access to City information and services.
The 311 service of New York City was started by the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications of the city to streamline the method in which residents may access government services and get information on city. The result was an easy-to-remember telephone number for all non-emergency services. 311, since its initiation has serviced approximately over 54 million calls.
"By all measures the first phase of 311 services has been an overwhelming success - taking 50 million calls in just over four years of operations is an incredible achievement," said David Moskovitz, the managing director of Public Service State & Local practice of Accenture.

Saves you Time
New York is not just a famous and busy city that is surrounded with so many sparkling lights around, it is also considered to be one very huge place to roam around. In fact I would not advice that you dare wonder around the city if it's your first time to visit or if you are not really familiar with the entire place yet. Hiring a New York city moving company for this reason will save you more time. A professional New York mover will most likely know all the best routes within the city to avoid traffic and possibly the shortest routes to take in reaching the address you are bound to move into.
Saves you money
