From Tuesday 3rd until Thursday 5th July 2007 Dorset Software will be exhibiting alongside Woking Borough Council at the LGA Conference and Exhibition at the ICC in Birmingham.
At the Conference, which focuses on 'People and Places' and considers the practical ways in which local government improves people’s lives, Dorset Software will be showcasing Shikari, a corporate business management tool which was developed in partnership with Woking Borough Council.

• Improvement Plans module to record and manage the Improvement Plans agreed upon by the organisation.
• Service Plans module to maintain an organisation’s Service Plans.

Woking Borough Council will also be shedding light on how it deals with a number of key issues including tackling climate change, planning for sustainable communities and building neighbourhoods. Some of the tools it uses to achieve its goals will also be available for demonstration.
