MuniLogic™ Releases White Paper to Educate Municipalities. Provides Municipal Leaders with Insight to Improving Internal Efficiencies, and Delivering Better Government
June 27, 2011
(WARRINGTON, PA) - MuniLogic today released a new white paper, entitled "Municipal Management Software: Better Practices, Better Technology, Better Government," which informs municipal leaders about how to improve municipal government and authority services through the application of technology.
"This white paper is a blueprint for municipal leaders to use when assessing their own software needs and for making better decisions about implementing future systems," said Paul Nelson, account manager for MuniLogic.
The ten page white paper breaks down the benefits and value of Municipal Management Software with easy to follow tables, charts and graphs.
One of the key aspects the white paper covers is differentiating between a traditional enterprise software and the plethora of standalone software packages, which many municipalities utilize throughout their organizations today. For instance, some municipalities have separate standalone programs for covering various aspects of their operation; one vendor for GIS, another for document management, a different product for licensing, and a specific software package just for permitting, while others have one enterprise wide system for the entire operation, putting them all under one easy-to-use dashboard. Included within the paper is a breakdown of the benefits and pitfalls for each approach.
"More and more municipalities and authorities are moving toward automated software solutions to manage municipal government on a daily basis," said Nelson. "We feel it's important for municipalities to understand the fundamental trade-offs between an enterprise solution and standalone solutions."
Recognizing that any municipality or authority that transitions into a municipal management software solution is going to face challenges in justifying the expenditure, the white paper breaks down the value proposition and benefits of the new breed of software, providing decision makers with instant intel.
Finally, the white paper provides a handy checklist of questions to ask when purchasing a municipal management software program. This purchasing criterion can be used as a checklist for evaluating municipal management software programs.
MuniLogic™ Offers User-Friendly Pricing
to Municipalities and Authorities Management Software is Modular, Powerful, Easy-to-Use and Affordable
December 22, 2010
Warrington, PA - Recognizing local governments are being forced to do more with less, Carroll Engineering Corporation announced today a user-friendly pricing structure for MuniLogic, a municipal management software program designed to improve efficiency and enhance services.
The new, user-friendly pricing structure offers municipalities and authorities two choices: (1) a tiered pricing model, broken-down by size of municipality or customer base; and, (2) a monthly lease licensing option.
"This new, user-friendly pricing structure will provide municipalities and authorities with an opportunity to purchase MuniLogic at an affordable price," said Matt Garber, Carroll Engineering Senior Vice President. "We understand the fiscal pressure municipal leaders are under today, and this new pricing model reflects that."
Tiered Pricing Model
Customers who prefer ownership of MuniLogic over leasing can take advantage of the new tiered pricing model. This user-friendly structure introduces a lower cost of ownership to municipalities under 5,000 in population and municipal authorities under 3,000 customers.
Monthly Lease
The monthly lease licensing option provides a terrific alternative for those customers who cannot afford a capital expenditure. For one low monthly fee, MuniLogic can be used by all departments and an unlimited amount of users. This option includes all services and support, so there is no additional cost.
MuniLogic is an enterprise system designed to automate the various business processes of a municipal organization through an integrated set of management modules, such as Permits, Licenses, Inspections, Requests for Service (or Complaints), Maintenance, Work Orders, Violations and much more.
"From permits to maintenance orders, our easy to navigate dashboard is completely comprehensive," said Garber, a Microsoft Certified System Engineer. "With 20 years experience in municipal information technology, we get it when it comes to the needs of local governments."
The product also provides an integrated asset management solution for fixed assets such as Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, Water and Roadway (Assets within the Right-of-Way). MuniLogic comes standard with a comprehensive core system that integrates technologies such as true GIS mapping, robust document management, and full enterprise reporting and extensive communication capabilities. MuniLogic allows organizations to "go green" by relying much less on paper-based processes - hardcopy items such as fee schedules, permit applications, zoning maps, and customer complaints are all electronically filed and stored with the MuniLogic product.
"With less personnel and resources, MuniLogic becomes even more critical to help manage assets and business processes," said Garber. "The faster our customers can get started using MuniLogic, the bigger their return on investment."
