Digital Transformation for Smart Governance
ComplyPOD can be used to digitize traditional methods of government regulation, monitoring and approvals
The Problems with the traditional method of building access audit
Audits are far too expensive at scale
Assessing an entire city or area is necessary for holistic change. However, it prohibitively expensive for governments or their consultants to audit at such a scale
Lack of trained and qualified accessibility professionals
Auditors have traditionally been qualified engineers. This prohibits the involvement of non-professional users from inputting into the audit process
No widescale data capture or learning
Lessons learnt at one area or from one department are not shared with others when data is not stored in central location and disseminated friendly and online.
Regulations are complex and exclusive
Regulations are aimed at engineers or architects and contain complex jargon that excludes non-technical readers
Traditional paper checklists are difficult to use
Large parts of extensive paper checklists will not be relevant to most buildings. Checklists are difficult to complete and no digital tools used.
Audits take time and become obsolete quickly
An audit may not log real time issues due to length of time to produce and become out-of-date during production
The traditional method vs the digital method
The traditional analogue building audit process
– Measuring tape, written check-lists and camera are traditionally common for collecting data
– A written report, spreadsheet or action plan used to present data
– Limited use of accurate digital instruments or computer calculations to determine if an issue is compliant with latest government regulations.
– No means for digitally capturing data in a consistent format or at any usable scale.
The traditional analogue building audit process
– Audits can be carried out by anybody using a smart phone or computer.
– Information is captured and stored digitally.
– Results can be shared with wider audience.
– Efficiency of data collection is quicker and easier.
– Data capture is in universal format across all users.
