Oracle today released Oracle’s Siebel CRM Public Sector 8.2.2 (www.oracle.com/us/industries/public-sector/046908.html) – a component of Oracle Social Services Suite – to help public sector organizations become more responsive to shifting economic, social and policy environments, while maintaining a focus on improving program delivery and citizen service as well as streamlining program legislation automation.

One of the first commercial off-the-shelf software solutions created specifically for social services, Oracle Social Services Suite provides government agencies with a complete, open and integrated platform for eligibility and case management to help simplify eligibility determination, increase caseworker efficiency and improve program effectiveness.

As part of Oracle Applications Unlimited (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/035482.htm) , Siebel CRM Public Sector 8.2.2 continues to build upon the comprehensive eligibility and case management foundation of Oracle Social Services Suite by delivering innovations and enhanced features for user accessibility, benefits management, appeals, and service providers. In addition, enhancements to Siebel CRM Public Sector's integration with Oracle Policy Automation (www.oracle.com/us/industries/public-sector/058991.html) support simplified implementation, improved performance and additional auditing and decision reporting capabilities.

With Siebel CRM Public Sector's modern, secure enterprise application and technology architecture and open integrations to back-end processing systems, public sector organizations can immediately reduce risk and administrative costs during deployment by enabling government agencies to leverage their existing technology while demonstrating progress in modernization efforts.

Siebel CRM Public Sector is part of Oracle iGovernment (www.oracle.com/us/industries/public-sector/046936.html) , a technology platform for innovative, integrated and intelligent operations to enable government agencies to modernize their IT infrastructures, improve service delivery and increase efficiency and transparency.
