With QScend's QContent as Featured Tool, Littleton, MA, Earns Open Government Award

The Town of Littleton, Massachusetts, using the QContent™ suite of web-based content management tools provided by QScend Technologies, Inc., recently won an award from the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government for its commitment to e-government initiatives.

Waterbury, CT (PRWEB) April 4, 2008 -- The Town of Littleton, Massachusetts, using the QContent™ suite of web-based content management tools provided by QScend Technologies, Inc., recently won an award from the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government for its commitment to e-government initiatives.

"QContent is a key element of our e-government effort. Using it has made making changes to our website extremely easy," said Nancy Glencross, IS Manager in Littleton. "Individuals have controlled access, which allows them to change and update their content to provide up-to-the-minute information to our citizens."

Part of the mission of the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government is to support the state's open meeting and open records laws and to encourage greater use of the Internet by local and state governments as a mechanism for complying with those laws.

"Keeping our community informed through our website is not only a service, but a responsibility," said Glencross. "Providing e-government is an inexpensive, easy way to keep the public informed with the click of the mouse."

Keith LeBeau, president of QScend, noted that, with busy schedules, it is important for citizens to be able to access information, check meeting schedules, file service requests, and make payments when they have the time.

"By using our e-government tools, municipalities such as Littleton make it possible for that to happen," said LeBeau. "We all know that having more informed and more knowledgeable citizens leads to better communities and better government."
