We considered iCOIN project as a great possibility to implement ICT solution that would improve public services quality and accessibility. We wanted Klembow municipality to be a pioneer in implementing cost effective ICT solutions optimised for small rural municipalities. ICOIN project was considered to be a rare occasion to gain new innovative technologies and utilize international experience of our partners in small rural municipality. We hoped that our knowledge regarding technological and administrative issues will be valuable for the consortium. The iCOIN formula was coherent with our company mission, consequently we have decided to join the consortium. Our main objective was to produce an Educational Portal that would improve communication between following groups:- pupils
- parents
- teachers
- civil servants
The solution was intended to rationalise knowledge sharing process and legal documents flow process.
