Operational manual and this will have to be conducted periodically and we need to check with the department to make sure all the information in the portal is correct. We need to do a content management and we are already getting feedback from some of our early users and updating forms and information and some of the feeds as they increase. Technical maintenance and security maintenance. Part of the next phase which has already begun in a parallel process is mapping out the five consolidated billing departments. We want to do is having the portal as a great first step into getting information into one place, but eventually if there is a way where people can log in and manage their account, they can pay bills and look at delinquency and pay for everything they need to do online. That is the pie in the sky. I dont know if that will happen anytime soon but its something we are working on and to get to that step, is looking at the process. There is so many things about the physical process
It really takes a village. Its not just myself. The team you see here, all flt Small Business leaders and some of them actually spoke earlier and all of you guys, we couldnt have done it without you. Thank you so much for your unwavering support. Congratulations. This is fantastic. I know start up Technical Companies take a lot longer. The fact that you did it inside of government is even more remarkable. I think it looks very modern and very up to date and i love the fearful it and looks like some of the best websites.

But its going to take a lot of work and just maintaining the content on the portal itself and not even growing it is already a huge piece, but if we would like to grow it and again if we could advocate for more funding Going Forward thats definitely that will help keep this relevant.

This when we are done. Reviewing some of the key 20142015, this project started at the end of november so its been on an adjourn for journey for the last nine 9 months and we are really close to the finish line. Full launch is october which is where we are at now. We need to create and operations and training manual so its something that we can pass on some day if we are not around anymore and somebody takes over the portal. I really feel this is a site that has longevity and not something that is created and will disappear in a year or two. We will have a training manual and operational manual and this will have to be conducted periodically and we need to check with the department to make sure all the information in the portal is correct.
