Mosaic Professional Services

Streamline software solutions with training for optimal efficiency.

Implementing new software is not always as seamless as you want it to be. Resistance to change and the workforce skills gap makes it harder to integrate new digital technologies into your day-to-day working life.

Empower your team with training, full health checks, and bespoke consultancy to make sure your local configuration is well maintained and documented, legislation is followed, and specific support to meet your local authority’s needs are met, to leave your team with the confidence, competence, and skills to make the decisions needed for your local community.
