Modernizing Public Services with an Ambitious Digital Plan
The City of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, known for its commitment to innovation and sustainable development, was facing increasing challenges in digital governance. With a small IT team and uneven adoption of new digital tools, it became essential to structure modernization efforts around a clear and shared strategy.
To achieve this, the City chose to rely on Eficio’s Audit 4.0 and Digital Plan service—a solution specifically designed to help municipalities build their digital transformation in a coherent, realistic, and sustainable way.
Complex Challenges for a Growing City
Although several systems had recently been implemented, adoption remained limited. Some IT initiatives were emerging directly from departments, with little central coordination, complicating the management of technological priorities. A digital master plan became an obvious necessity. Identified challenges included:
- Lack of engagement with digital tools
- Poor alignment between IT and municipal objectives
- No shared roadmap among departments
Eficio’s Response: A Tailored Digital Plan Based on Audit 4.0
To address these challenges, Eficio implemented its Audit 4.0 and Digital Plan approach—a structured methodology based on six collaborative workshops. This approach enabled the City to:
- Measure its digital maturity using the Agile-based CIO-360 tool
- Identify high-potential business capabilities for transformation
- Identify innovative initiatives for becoming a Smart City
- Prioritize digital projects based on impact, feasibility, and strategic alignment
- Structure a clear, budgeted, and mobilizing digital roadmap
- Access exclusive tools (Hype Cycle, Gartner Reports, Generative AI, CIO Circle)
This participatory approach fostered leadership engagement and reinforced a shared vision of a more innovative, connected, and efficient city.
Tangible Results for a Successful Transformation
At the end of the mandate, the City now benefits from:
- A reliable technological assessment identifying key transformation prerequisites
- A clear digital vision shared across all departments
- A prioritized and actionable roadmap
Strengthened and consistent IT governance - A strategic foundation to become a future-oriented Smart City
