Cheshire Council faces significant demographic and financial challenges, including increasing demand for social care services and a projected £75 million budget gap over four years.
In response to these challenges, Cheshire East Council plans to embark on a comprehensive transformation initiative. This option aims to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities to enhance service delivery, drive efficiencies across council operations to assist in addressing the council's financial and demographic challenges.
This solution will accelerate and maximise the use of digital opportunities to provide end-to-end service improvement and efficiencies through the use of emerging AI technologies.
