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.
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.
Thanks to all of our customers, partners, and the team at Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL), ViewPoint jumped 32 spots to rank 13th on the most recent list of “Best Vendors Serving Local Government”. We’re incredibly humbled by the recognition and invigorated to continue providing the best product and services for our customers. Who ever said ePermitting software can’t be leading government technology innovation?
