FAQs
- What is the Civica Interaction Centre (CIC)?
-
The Civica Interaction Centre (CIC) is our new customer engagement and support service. It is designed to simplify and accelerate customer interaction through a single front door. When you log into your online portal, Civica Always On, you can raise both support and engagement cases. Whatever the query, the CIC team will utilise their available knowledge to resolve it, or they will ensure your request is routed directly to the right team first time where required. It centralises customer support and engagement to enable faster responses and a seamless experience.
- Why is Civica introducing CIC?

CIC has been developed in response to customer feedback. We know that navigating multiple channels and teams can slow things down, so we've created a simpler way to connect with us through a single front door. Both support and engagement cases can now be managed in one place with CIC.
- What is the difference between Always On and the CIC?
-
Civica Always On is your online customer portal where you can access resources, raise cases and track progress. CIC is the service behind the portal that reviews and routes your cases to the right team. We’ve launched CIC to centralise customer interaction through a single front door.
