Israel Local Authorities Data Processing Center ( LADPC ) was established in 1968 by the ministry of interior and the Union of Local Authorities. It operates as a public company, with the Local Authorities owning 60% and the Government of Israel owning 40% of the founding shares.

 

Offering the most comprehensive, integrative computer networking system in Israel, the company is dedicated to improving the efficiency and productivity of the country's local authorities.

 

LADPC serves over 5,000 users connected by over a 150 nodes' network. We provide real time service information from four central offices - located in Tel aviv, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva and Haifa.

 

We provide the municipal sector on line access to Government Ministries, banks and other organizations. Through the use of EDI, relevant information is relayed between these subscribers to provide better service at all levels of the community.

This is accomplished through several arrangements including a service bureau, in which services are provided per request; turnkey systems, which are set up by LADPC and operated by the customer; or joint operations, in which the staff of the Center work side-by-side, on a permanent basis, with the customer to operate the system.

 

LADPC keeps half of its 400+ highly specialized employees within the municipalities, providing hands-on solutions to their everyday operations. The professional staff includes computer engineers, architects, system analysts, programmers, and computer operators, all of who enables the local authorities' employees to use these technologically advanced data systems.

There is not a municipality in Israel that does not receive the LADPC's services, and nearly every citizen enjoys the benefits of improved information systems and services. In addition to service and support, LADPC provides software, hardware, manuals and any related equipment required.

 

The most widely used system offered by the LADPC is of Population Management. This includes population census records, school registration records and educational resource management. There is also a system for salary and human resources, as well as a system that addresses the needs of the senior citizen population.

 

In the area of Resource and Capital, the software packages consist of programs for managing municipal and organizational budgets, loans, tax income, parking fines and city assets. Real Estate systems handle the cities' buildings, maps and infrastructure, as well as a new project addressing Geographical information Systems.

 

"Moked", an emergency information service, has been set up as another new system for public service in the municipalities. This special telephone number is used to request emergency assistance from the police, fire and ambulance services or local utilities.

 

"Informatics", an information system for private citizens, connects personal computers to various services, information and recreational systems such as municipal information, school registration, supermarket orders and edutainment (educational computer games).
