Benefits of eSCRIBE
The recent pandemic has changed expectations for how organizations should operate. Just as importantly, it has proved that online and remote working models actually work! As such, agencies can no longer deny or delay digitizing their operations; they need to move forward to embrace the technological advancements that must be made. This applies to the meetings many public organizations manage.
