Program Description

  MC311

Transitioning to TEBS in FY25, MC311 is a key strategic, enterprise-wide initiative that provides the public with a single three-digit number (311) to call for County information and service from anywhere within Montgomery County. In addition, MC311 provides the County with a sophisticated ability to count, track, and respond to resident requests. MC311 is the County's main hub for customer service and provides the general public with a higher quality of service delivery and accountability while helping the government achieve operational efficiencies. MC311 actively partners with other County departments and offices to discover process improvement opportunities that will benefit the customers' experience while simultaneously increasing operational efficiencies within the County. The County's Siebel users receive their training through MC311, as the Siebel system tracks the status of service requests throughout the County.
