Strategic points

Challenges

MDS struggled to manage millions of daily interactions with citizens across multiple programs and service channels. Traditional systems became overloaded and required extensive manual intervention.

This increased response times and limited access, especially for the most vulnerable populations. A scalable, intelligent and secure solution, compliant with federal standards, was needed.

Solution

Central IT deployed CITSmart Aura, an AI-based conversational platform with natural language processing, machine learning and cognitive automation, integrated with government platforms via secure APIs.

Features include integration with national authentication systems, access to social programs such as Bolsa Família, multichannel service (WhatsApp, web chat, Telegram, voice bot and email) and real-time monitoring and analytics dashboards.

Measurable delivery

Impact

Because that's our business: empowering people. Impacting organizations.
