Los Angeles Chooses OneMeeting to Optimize & Digitize Legislative Processes

Being home to 3.99 million (2018) residents brings challenges to effectively managing city meetings, procedures, and communication with its large population. The officials at the city of Los Angeles searched to find a perfect solution provider at the forefront of technology and who understood the city’s needs at its core, and OneMeeting, formerly known as PrimeGov, answered their call.

We are excited, proud, and thankful to the city of Los Angeles for choosing OneMeeting by Rock Solid. We want to give them a warm welcome to our family.

The city had a unique set of requirements, and we would like to walk you through our process of bringing them on board.

defining customer needs

With OneMeeting, we pride ourselves in taking the time to understand customer needs. Our CCO, Sherif Agib, has a consultative approach on discovering customer needs resonates throughout the company:

“Keeping in mind that every customer has varying needs, we spend time asking pertinent questions to clients to precisely understand their business processes and determine their needs related to use cases, workflows, approvals and alerting mechanisms.”

The larger size, diverse population, and high frequency of city meetings present the following challenges for the city of Los Angeles:

  • Large number of meetings: The city conducts three council meetings per week and needs a product to match the meetings' complexity and frequency.
    • There is a flurry of activity behind the scenes to facilitate meeting preparation and finalization. Since LA conducts more meetings than a typical city, it amplifies the work city clerks must do before, during, and after the meetings.
  • Limited platform flexibility: The city has a population with diverse needs and requirements. They needed a platform that could promptly adjust to meet its citizens' growing expectations.

The city’s unique requirements present a challenging opportunity for us, and OneMeeting’s team is up for the challenge.
