The system went live in the middle of June with the city receiving full training and support from the Paladin Data Systems training staff.
“We are excited to watch the City of Ferndale go live and add them to our growing list of SMARTGov customers. We upgraded Ferndale from PTWin software which included comprehensive migration of all of their legacy data into SMARTGov for free. This is a great partnership between Paladin and the City as we have deployed and are supporting SMARTGov via our cost-effective cloud deployment model. We anticipate a long term relationship with Ferndale as SMARTGov offers many additional features available to Ferndale for future deployment,” said Jon Byrd, Paladin Sales Executive.

“The City of Ferndale is excited to adopt SMARTGov as an important piece of our permit review process, known locally as the fastest review process in Northwest Washington. The City’s existing permit tracking software (PTWin) is at the end of its useful life, and SmartGov’s software suite provides us with the ability to more-efficiently review permits while providing our customers and the general public with the ability to observe and monitor our review processes. We need to keep ahead of our competition, and Paladin will help us do that,” said Jori Burnett, Community Development Director.
