Why Do Government Jurisdictions Need ProjectDox?
Here's why. Under current and expected economic conditions, public concern over the business dimension of local and state governments is growing. The way jurisdictions run their business operations is being scrutinized by their respective communities regarding the breadth of services they provide, cost-efficiency, environmental conservation and overall responsiveness. The need for positive change is widely recognized and accepted.
In order to meet the challenges of and expectations for the delivery of high quality public services, jurisdictions nationwide are turning to information technologies that can help them solve real business problems, such as
Information silos and cross-departmental communication, cooperation
Technology standards and interoperability
Data, network and personal security
Workforce reduction
Competitiveness for commercial investment
Emergency response and disaster preparedness/recovery
ProjectDox Electronic Plan Review and Project Information Management and Collaboration gives citizen-customers and government personnel from many departments – and even outside agencies – access to plans, documents and stored data in a way that lets people work together better. It helps government personnel cut through information silos, share that information productively, provide better services and do more with less. It helps communities stay competitive and sustainable. Finally and best of all, ProjectDox helps save citizens a lot of time and money while providing a solid return on investment to the jurisdiction and the taxpayer alike.
Electronic Plan Submission, Review, Tracking and Storage is a Green Initiative
Reduce Paper and Save Trees. Reduce Customer Traffic and Greenhouse Gases. Let Staff Telecommute. The ProjectDox for ePlan solution goes beyond addressing process and time management challenges; it also provides significant advantages with regard to environmental conservation. Consider that in most every instance of a land development and or construction project, multiple sets of paper plans are required for review, fossil-fuel vehicles are used to deliver plan-sets and, normally, plan-sets must be submitted and distributed multiple times during the approval process.
It has been calculated that, by using ProjectDox for ePlan, a jurisdiction issuing 3000 permits annually could save up to:
312,000 miles driven and 20,800 gallons of gas
457,600 lbs. carbon monoxide emitted
$57,200 in fuel costs
12,480 hours of drive-time
192,000 lbs. of paper used (239 trees)
Approximately 12,000 lbs. of paper requiring storage
Access to ProjectDox also enables telecommuting for some jurisdictional personnel as well as reduced travel for field inspection teams, which can also increase energy and environmental conservation.
