Central government agency in Africa enhances survey processing with ReadSoft
ReadSoft announces a substantial expansion of the utilisation of the company’s FORMS solution by an African central government statistics bureau. The expansion deal is worth 387,000 USD and was signed in the fourth quarter of 2012.
This bureau has the responsibility of processing all Official Statistics in its country. The solution is serviced and supported by ReadSoft South Africa in collaboration with trained and certified local partners.

This includes health service and labour force surveys.

We are also excited at the prospect of expanding our solutions for the processing of all survey forms in what is proving to be as substantial a value proposition in the public sector as we have proven in the private sector, says Per Åkerberg, President and CEO of ReadSoft. “Governments are under increasing pressure to deliver value to their citizens, and to collect real time data in order to provide relevant and improved service. We are proud to see our solutions enabling these improvements,” finishes Per Åkerberg.
