Siebel Public Sector provides the below feature Out of box:
Location Tracking: It provides a standardized Location Tracking Mechanism for various addresses like malls, hotels, office parks, and campuses. Users can also specify an area that does not have address information—for example, a street intersection or the north end of a lake. You can associate latitude and longitude pairs or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) values witha single location.

Serialization Rules: It also provides Serialization Rules which can be used to give a Serial Number by default to a case using some of the case related values like Territory, Category for example: For example, in the case serial number NY-2B-2, the serial number denotes a geographic territory (NY—New York) and a case category (2B—aggravated assault). The third field (2) uniquely identifies the case.

Approval Templates: It also provides a feature for setting up Approval Templates. for example for a particular type of case, you want that it should pass through a set of Approval from some Employees of the Organization.Similarly for Activity Templates as well.

Assignment of Cases and Ownership
Cases by default get assigned to the employee who created the case. Case assignment can be done manually or It can be done automatically(may need configuration) using Siebel Assignment Manager based on the different filed values like Geographic Location, category of case, availability of the user.Multiple employee can also be assigned to a case.

Case Activity Plans
Case Activity Plans can be set up. Just for an overview, An activity plan is a set of tasks (activities in Oracle’s Siebel data model) that users must complete to finish processing the case. Analyst can create Activity Plans.

Siebel Case Management

Recently, I am working on a project based on Siebel Public Sector.

Siebel Public Sector is mainly focused on the Case Management. It provides a 360° view for Case Management.

Definition of Case
Case is something which can be logged to Govt/Govt Managed agencies to track any kind of interaction. That interaction can be for seeking information, complaint, sharing information, suggestion, to apply for Passport and Taxation.
I would say its Citizen oriented Approach.

Case Management needs to perform some activities, Approvals, validations, Assignments, Benefit Plans, Assessment based on the data collected from different sources.Case Management can be drilldown and the information can be sub-divided into multiple entities. Case Management comprises of Detail Views like:

Accounts	Approvers	Activities
Benefits Plan	Assessments	Activity Plans
Change of Circumstances	Attachments	Assets
Evidence	Contacts	Leads
Notes	Calender	Incidents
Related Cases	Service Requests	Addresses
Households	Groups	Group Suspects
Partners	Projects	Proposals
Presentations	literature Distribution	Vehicles
Claims	Diseases	Audit Trails
Verification Plans	QA Plans

Using Case Management, we can set up multiple kinds of cases of different Government departments/agencies like

• Municipal corporations,
• Social services,
• Tax and revenue management,
• Public health,
• Immigration agencies, and
• Investigative agencies

Apart from above these, there are few button present on Case Management View.
1. Regenerate All- Used to regenerate serial numbers for the cases.
2. Submit- Used to submit the case for Approval by creating inbox item.
3. Recall- Recall the submitted case.
4. Screening- Used to Apply New Govt Policy Rules and Screen the citizens.
5. Eligibility- Used to Apply New Govt Policy Rules and check the eligibility.
6. Change of circumstances- If any Change in case, modify Benefit Plans.
