Integration has become a big business.
Connecting critical applications improves efficiency, reduces costs, and eliminates human error.
For government agencies, integration enhances the quality of citizen services.
And thanks to today’s cloud technology, seamlessly integrating systems is fast, easy, and affordable.
If you bought integration software in the 1990s or 2000s, you had to be a programmer to use it. Connections were made point to point, which required hours of coding, specialized IT skills, operational downtime, and ongoing maintenance.
An integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution changes everything.
An iPaaS solution is a cloud-based platform that effortlessly integrates business systems, synchronizes data, and automates processes. With the right iPaaS solution, even the least tech-savvy users can create integrations and transfer data between systems at lightning speed.
A government agency that has begun a digital transformation by eliminating paper and implementing cloud software solutions can complete that journey and become a fully connected government with an iPaaS solution.
For example, let’s examine integrating the Accela Civic Platform and e-PlanREVIEW.
Accela is a powerful, cloud-based software solution that accelerates growth, efficiency, and transparency and allows governments to improve citizen services and fulfill their growing communities’ needs. Accela includes everything governments need to make it easy for citizens to open and run a business, apply for permits, schedule inspections, and more.
e-PlanREVIEW is a web-based electronic plan review (EPR) solution for building and safety, planning, and public works agencies. e-PlanREVIEW’s collaborative review process allows multiple users to review the same document simultaneously, making the process faster and more accurate.
By integrating Accela and e-PlanREVIEW, plan review professionals can open, review, and annotate an applicant's plan documents without leaving Accela’s back office. Applicants can be automatically informed of updates made by staff, and the applicant can see the changes and leave comments or updates using their own computer or device.
