Oregon Agencies Streamline Civic Services With Accela - Seite 2

"We've reduced the time it takes to start a project from days down to the click of a button," said Lloyd Purdy, Economic Development Manager for the City of Tigard. "Tigard is using technology to streamline commercial and residential permits and now customers can print their permit and receipt immediately, and then begin work."

The City of Albany is located in the Willamette Valley and has a population of 50,000. By upgrading to Accela Automation, the City will offer automated solutions for land management, including permitting and inspection. With Accela Mobile Office, the City will extend mobile capabilities into the field by bringing government services to staff through real-time, visual access to data in an agency's database from a mobile device. Additionally, with Accela GIS, Albany can leverage geospatial data to improve decision-making and streamline processes.

Clackamas County, home to a population of 380,000, is now live with Accela Automation, which streamlines and automates services across multiple departments, including Building, Planning, Engineering, Code Enforcement and Soils. Clackamas will also leverage Accela Citizen Access to offer citizens, businesses and visitors access to government services online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Citizens can create building permits online, schedule inspections or search applications.
