Accela, Inc., the leading provider of government enterprise software solutions, announced today that Montgomery County, Ohio has launched Accela eConnect(TM), an application that allows the County to offer several Building Regulations services via the Internet. Montgomery County initially began using Accela to internally automate the building permit activities of the Building Regulations Division. With the addition of eConnect, the County will provide the community with 24-hour access to check the status of a permit or application or view relevant inspection schedules. Eventually, the system will be expanded to allow citizens to apply for certain permits, pay fees, and schedule inspections on- line.
"Part of the County's e-government plan is to make its Building Regulations Division services more accessible to the public and Accela's solution helps us achieve this goal," commented Maury Wyckoff, Building Regulations Manager at Montgomery County. "This Internet module allows our citizens to access information quickly and easily and in turn, our staff will free up valuable time to focus on more important tasks and provide better individual customer service to those who need it."
"Accela's technology allows us to provide effective enterprise solutions for government agencies of all sizes," states Robert P. Lee, Accela's president and CEO. "The end result is better, faster government that works for everyone."
Montgomery County is the fourth largest county in Ohio and is home to more than 550,000 residents. The County is one of many jurisdictions in Ohio who are already using Accela solutions. These include: Carlisle, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Hamilton County, Mason, Wilmington, Oxford, Toledo, Kettering, and Forest Park.
