New communication channels to reach the people

www.issy.com, all the City at your fingertips

Launched in May 1996, the web-site www.issy.com has been developed and improved ever since. If, in 1996, the city's website had only a few hundreds of viewers per month, in 2010, 1,350,000 visitors were accounted for and 6 million pages were seen (a 8% increase as compared to 2009).

Around 9,000 demands for civil status certificates and 23,000 bookings in the City's multimedia and games libraries were made. In 2011, www.issy.com celebrates its fifteen year anniversary.

Thanks to digital tools, we can reach far beyond the usual paper media readers. We are not only reaching inhabitants through letter boxes or public places but also people interested in local news in France and all around the world. Knowing everything about the city in a few clicks is a promise made to all people who want to keep in touch with the local life just as if they were roaming Issy's streets.

Moreover, employees of the companies settled in Issy, who were not reachable up to now, can now surf the website or register to receive the newsletter, SMS alerts or the Facebook page to know what is happening in the city. Local news can be read from the desk of any person working in Issy-lesMoulineaux. For the city it is a unique opportunity to get them interested in what is happening outside their office, to invite them to return on weekends, to enjoy local activities, a sweet tooth market, an offbeat visit, and eventually to settle in Issy.

Disabled people, especially visually impaired can now be better informed thanks to an internet website following international standards for accessibility, but also thanks to vocal chronicles like podcasts or "Point d'Appui" articles recorded on an audio CD. ■
