After surveying and determining the needs and expectations of municipalities, we created cityBundle™ specifically for municipal government sectors. Consisting of a suite of nine modular applications, cityBundle™ is designed to help create a unique web browsing environment for community, employees and citizens. These modular pieces are being utilized by leading municipalities across Canada.
cityBundle™: A Municipal Portal Solution
cityBundle™ is composed of modular snap-on features that can be used to capitalize on the foundation provided by SharePoint 2007. The power of these components reduce risk for our clients while providing additional functionality for citizens and internal users at a total lower cost of ownership.

HOW CAN CITYBUNDLE™ HELP YOUR AGENCY?
We’ve learned that each engagement is different and no single cookie cutter solution will meet the needs of each initiative. We bring both key knowledge and foundational products to reduce risk and lead you through an accelerated, best practice delivery of the Community Portal. Some key reasons why you will benefit:
 |
Lower Risk of SharePoint 2007 Custom Development
Custom development is inherently risky. With clear patterns and product building blocks already created to run on the SharePoint 2007 – Concept can reduce any project risk. |
|
|
 |
Concentrate on More Complex Business Issue
When simple issues are taken off the table, you’ll be able to more effectively concentrate on the complex business rules, governance and strategy to make your portal successful. |
|
|
 |
Connect and Reuse Existing Effort
Change management is an essential consideration for a Community portal. Concept can establish a solution that reuses existing efforts to simplify training and change management.
