zedIT Partners with Accela to Facilitate Migration of Fast-Growth GeoTMS Customers in New England to the Accela Civic Platform
St. John's, NL (PRWEB) July 16, 2015 -- zedIT Solutions (zedIT), a provider of Information Technology services, today announced a partnership with Accela, the leading provider of cloud-based civic engagement solutions for government. Last month, the companies jointly embarked on a multi-city road-show throughout Massachusetts to showcase Accela’s software solutions and zedIT’s implementation capabilities for customers interested in upgrading from the GeoTMS product to the modern, cloud-based Accela Civic Platform.
Accela acquired GeoTMS, a provider of municipal software solutions to more than 100 agencies in the United States, in 2014. With this acquisition, GeoTMS customers now have a rare opportunity to modernize their municipal services and citizen engagement with a fast and affordable upgrade to the Accela Civic Platform. In addition to managing an agency’s planning, zoning, permitting, inspections, code enforcement, and business licensing processes, customers will be able to take advantage of other Civic Platform solutions, including:
• Asset Management
• Land Management
• Right of Way Management
• Legislative Management
• Recreation and Resource Management
• Citizen Relationship Management
• Environmental Health and Safety
• Licensing and Case Management
• Finance and Administration
Additional benefits of the all-inclusive Civic Platform subscription include increased mobile capabilities for inspectors across all mobile platforms, greater online capabilities for citizens, advanced mapping and reporting functions, and built-in, real-time auto data publishing to CivicData.com, Accela’s free open data portal. Additional information on the Civic Platform’s solutions can be found at http://www.accela.com/solutions.

We look forward to adding Accela’s top-of-the-line offerings to our existing portfolio.”

The partnership between zedIT and Accela follows collaboration between the two companies that spans several years. Working together, zedIT has provided services on such Accela implementations as the State of Massachusetts, Cape Cod Commission (Harwich, Provincetown), Newfoundland Department of Fisheries, and City of Milwaukee.
Leveraging its extensive experience in creating and implementing technology solutions in both the public and private sector, zedIT ensures a smooth implementation for any GeoTMS customer wishing to upgrade to the Accela Civic platform.
