Challenges
- 15-year-old software didn’t integrate with other systems or offer mobile capabilities
- No citizen portal meant residents and developers couldn’t access online services
- Legacy software was reaching its end of life and would no longer be supported
Why
eGovernment
- Cloud enterprise platform eliminates server maintenance
- Robust disaster recovery features
- Scalable, customizable solution that will grow with the municipality
Benefits
- Citizen portal enables residents to request municipal services online
- Municipality-wide solution has eliminated data siloes and redundancies
- Inspectors work in the field on tablets, and office staff can work remotely
