REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, OpenGov Inc. formally announced the launch of its integrated Permitting, Licensing & Code Enforcement Suite (PLC). It's the third major suite in the company's recently announced OpenGov ERP Cloud.
This latest addition to OpenGov's growing list of web-based applications modernizes community development and civic services using powerful workflow technology, including a comprehensive, mobile-friendly web portal "storefront," making it easy for state and local governments to serve both residents and business owners. The software fully automates service delivery and internal approval processes for all permits, business licenses, inspections, fee calculations, online payments, digital forms, and electronic signatures. Other citizen services include utility billing, virtual town hall meetings, and virtual council meetings. This announcement bolsters OpenGov's position as the only public sector software provider offering a 100% cloud-based ERP, and furthers the company's mission to power more effective and accountable government.
"Especially during times of crisis, community members expect a user-friendly way to access services online, and government leaders want solutions that meet those expectations," said CEO Zac Bookman. "It's gratifying to see governments evaluate the technology landscape and opt for OpenGov's modern software over outdated, legacy systems. We are investing massively in R&D, because leveraging cloud technology to help navigate these unprecedented times in innovative ways ? whether for reopening building and planning departments, issuing outdoor dining permits, small business loan processing, CARES Act grants management, virtual inspections, or new business licenses ? has become a necessity for our nation's cities, counties, and state agencies."
"We are grateful we had all key departments integrated and working on a single application so we could keep our City on track through Covid-19 and accelerate reopening safely," says Sean Hearty, Director of Permit Coordination and Zoning Enforcement Officer in the City of Danbury, Connecticut.
OpenGov continues its trajectory as the leading innovator in the government technology space. The company's Permitting, Licensing & Code Enforcement Suite has seen major additions leading up to this announcement ? incorporating valuable customer feedback, expanding key functionalities, and deepening its integration with the OpenGov ERP Cloud. Some of these enhancements include:

In addition to the OpenGov Permitting, Licensing & Code Enforcement Suite, the OpenGov ERP Cloud features multi-fund accounting with the company's other two suites, OpenGov Financials and OpenGov Budgeting & Planning. Built with a data-first mentality, all suites are natively integrated with OpenGov's Reporting & Transparency Platform, enabling government officials to centralize and automate reporting, while also streamlining communications and building public trust. "Our vision of an integrated, modern, and delightful government cloud is here," said OpenGov CTO Ammiel Kamon.
