Accela®, the trusted provider of cloud solutions at the heart of government operations, today announced it has been awarded a competitive contract to partner with Butte County for its cloud migration and digital transformation of key community services. Butte County’s migration will enable it to better connect data and information across different county functions, providing an improved experience for residents and employees.
“In 2018, Butte County witnessed the unimaginable – complete devastation of communities by the campfire, one of the deadliest in California history. The county needed a partnership and proven software that would help them recover and rebuild quickly,” said Dennis Michalis, Accela’s chief revenue officer. “Accela’s cloud approval and licensing solutions uniquely help growing communities with automation and workflows that reduce process times and help residents and businesses quickly navigate the approval process. Butte County is now one of the fastest growing communities in the state, and we are committed to helping them not only continue to rebuild, but also have the tools to thrive in the future.”
A key goal for the district is to process building permit applications as quickly as possible to expedite recovery efforts after the campfire that destroyed more than 18,000 buildings and caused more than $16.5 billion in damage and devastated Butte County. Accela’s solutions reduce permit processing times, automate the tracking and management of applications from start to finish, and provide full transparency for agency officials and residents. With Accela, the county can help residents rebuild their lives faster.
Butte County signed a five-year, $1.3 million contract with Accela that includes migration to the cloud and use of Accela Civic Applications for Building, Land Management and Environmental Health. The county also leverages Accela’s robust partner ecosystem and leverages OpenCities to deliver a seamless digital experience on any device.
