Owensboro, Kentucky Launches Accela Wireless for Mobile Inspection Teams
Dublin, Calif., October 20, 2003 - Accela, Inc., the leading provider of government enterprise management solutions, announced today that the Owensboro Metropolitan Planning Commission has launched Accela Wireless(tm), a software application that facilitates direct, real-time access to data in an agency's database from a mobile device in the field. The Planning, Codes, and Permitting Departments will be the first in the state to utilize the mobile technology to streamline their work and process inspections more efficiently.
Owensboro has been using Accela for over a year to centralize and automate its land and permit management activities. With the addition of Accela Wireless, the Planning, Codes, and Permitting Departments now power their inspection teams with mobile technology to shift their many daily tasks from the office to the field. Inspectors are equipped with PDAs that allow them to remotely access their daily inspection schedules. While in the field, inspectors can input their inspection results and update the agency database in real-time, thereby speeding up the overall process.
"The addition of Accela Wireless allows us to do more with our existing resources," stated Gary Noffsinger, Executive Director of the Planning Commission. "By leveraging mobile technology, our inspectors spend more time in the field completing tasks and less time traveling back and forth to the home office. The end result is that they are able to respond more quickly to requests and provide a higher level of service to our citizens."
"Owensboro's leadership in implementing wireless technology illustrates how Accela's end-to-end technology allows us to be a total solution provider for government agencies of any size," states Robert P. Lee, Accela's president and CEO. "Our solutions are flexible and customizable to meet the unique needs of every employee, empowering them to be in control of integrated and intelligent enterprise information from any perspective."
