City of Norfolk, VA Goes Live on CSS IMPACT’s Financial Cloud as its Enterprise Debt Collections Platform

NORFOLK, Va. -- On February 1^st, 2021, the City of Norfolk Virginia, Department of Finance, officially launched CSS IMPACT Financial Cloud as their new Cloud Collections & Accounts Receivable Management Financial Ecosystem. CSS, Inc., the developer of “IMPACT | HD 2.0” is the leading provider of “NextGen” Cloud Financial & Debt Collections Ecosystem platforms with a focus on “Ai” (Artificial Intelligence) machine learning Digital Collections.

The following excerpts from the City Manager’s publication update of February 12^th, 2021, eloquently describe the benefits of this launch:

“The City has implemented Phase I of a new enterprise accounts receivable management system that streamlines automated processes and makes collection services much more efficient, effective, and transparent for the customer.  The purchase and implementation of the cloud-based CSS IMPACT Ecosystems software (CSS) allowed the City to retire several internally developed legacy applications when the new system was rolled out on February 1st.

The new receivable management system is designed to help the Finance call center contact and engage with consumers, departments, and partners in the community more effectively and efficiently. 

The Departments of Finance and IT industriously worked together with CSS to ensure a smooth conversion of data from existing internally developed applications currently used by the Collections Divisions of the Department of Finance where it is believed that with great customer service, there can be a successful balance achieved between service level delivery, and collection efforts for monies owed the City”.

The City of Norfolk’s selection of CSS as the provider of this platform aligns with its vision of delivering technology solutions that “improve employee productivity and service delivery, engage our citizens and promote business growth and educational opportunities”. [article_ad]

We very much look forward to a long-term partnership with the City of Norfolk”, said Carl Briganti, President and CEO of CSS, Inc.
