ViewPoint joins 49 other companies providing local governments with services in software, research, urban planning, civic engagement, and budgeting, among many others.

Last month, some of our favorite people at ELGL (Engaging Local Government Leaders) reached out to their community to help fund a ‘Diversity Dashboard’ project.
The goal is to “collect quality data about the race, gender, veteran status, and age of local government Chief Administrators (CAOs) and Assistant Chief Administrators (ACAOs) for every local government entity in the United States by December 31st 2017.”
Inspectors across the country largely embraced mobile devices in 2015, conducting almost 40,000 inspections from a tablet in the field on ViewPoint.
As permitting operations increasingly go online, trading in clipboards for tablets is becoming increasingly popular in forward-thinking communities.
We have a brand new office in Boston’s Innovation District! There’s lots of room to grow in this open-concept loft overlooking Fort Point Channel. The space features classic exposed brick and wood-beam ceilings that are common to this historic neighborhood.
If you don’t know much about Code for America, you should. The first thing you’ll see on their website homepage is an example of a radical paradigm shift happening in the public sector.
ViewPoint Government Solutions is excited to announce the opening of their new Los Angeles office. This move is a reflection of their continued growth in the govtech field of online permitting as well as the hotbed of forward-thinking governments in California and on the West Coast.
