A series of meetings and discussions will be held with technical and non-technical experts of a government organization for the implementation of Consumer Needs Assessment (URS). To complete the research, spatial data elements such as mobile workforce will be adapted to the existing systems and it will be tested and evaluated by the potential user for a period of three (3) month, purposely to determine the effectiveness and the system modernization. At the end of this study, it is hoped that the enhanced system propose will be accepted and apply in many local government of Malaysia and may the implementation will have a positive impact on national income.
