In the last month many services have been added to simplify the lives of residents, employees and those in business operations. Including:
My pages are now accessible for enterprises which significantly facilitates the lives of operators and improves access to public data.
Access to My pages and therefore the mailbox, financial information, real estate and other items have been improved with a new agency system, but now operators and individuals can provide other people with access to documents in a simple manner.
The chatter Askur has been activated on Iceland.is and already solves a high proportion of common queries, despite still being in development.
Iceland.is and My pages will continue to be developed and that development is being implemented in a user-centered way.
