ORLANDO,
FL and BEND, OR - September 15, 2005. Innoprise Software, Inc. today
announced that Bullhead City, Arizona, has signed a contract to purchase
the enterprise software company's Community Development solution. The
new software will replace time- and resource-intensive manual processes
with an automated methodology for creating, issuing and tracking the
business functions and processes needed to meet the city's planning,
zoning, building permitting, land management, code enforcement and cash
receipting activities. Also purchased was software to enable mobile
building inspections.
Bullhead City is located along the
eastern banks of the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona. The city's
population is 42,060, which increases by 15,000 seasonal and short stay
visitors during the winter months.
The new Innoprise Community Development
software will support Bullhead City's need to improve operational
efficiency by improving workflows, automating manual processes and
eliminating redundant activities. The software includes built-in
workflow automation features, advanced inspector scheduling tools and
the ability to expedite notification to code violators and track
non-compliance.
According to Diane Vick, Mayor for the
city, the challenge was to find a system that was intuitive and easy to
use, yet offered advanced capabilities such as wireless inspection
capability along with self-service public kiosks. "We looked at other
vendors including Accela and CRW Associates and selected Innoprise
Software based on their workflow features, ad-hoc reporting and
inspector scheduling features,” explained Vick. “Bullhead City is
looking forward to utilizing the new software to streamline our daily
field and clerical operations, improve inspector productivity and reduce
our overall cost of service,” adds Vick.
