City of Gainesville, FL Goes Live on Innoprise’s Building Permits Software

BROOMFIELD, CO - March 31, 2010. The City of Gainesville, Florida has deployed Innoprise Software, Inc.’s Building Permits module.  Gainesville had already deployed Code Enforcement and Planning and Zoning modules of Innoprise Community Development application suite.  Gainesville has a population of 122,000 and serves as the cultural, educational and commercial center for the North Central Florida Region.

The City provides a full range of municipal services, including police and fire protection; land use planning and zoning services; code enforcement, streets and drainage construction and maintenance; refuse and recycling services through a franchised operator to name a few. 

At the City of Gainesville, the building and code enforcement areas were using their own ten year old systems that did not communicate with each other.  The Gainesville planning department had no database system at all.  Gainesville sought an integrated solution that would provide a seamless management system and tool for all of these related operational areas.  The City desired a single comprehensive database that would allow building, planning and code enforcement to keep track of all they do and be shareable to all three departments. Another key business driver for Gainesville was a “Citizen Portal” for anyone to check up on the development process and actually apply and pay for services on the Internet.

Using Innoprise, Gainesville can now monitor building permits throughout the approval process.  Electronic files of any type can be attached to permits, permit reviews or permit inspections.  “The checks and balances for getting the date in and correct for all the processes up front in the setup process, allows for an automated process for all of the functions of the database,” said Doug Murdock, Building Official for the City.  “Now that Code Enforcement, Building and the Planning departments are all live on Innoprise, the City has a comprehensive land management system that tracks all three minimizing data entry and improving overall department efficiency,” explained Murdock.
