Over the course of a year, city staff reviewed processes and gathered requirements for a new solution.
A new solution was selected in late 2021 to help improve processes in the land management and permitting system space. Throughout 2022 the IT department has continued to lead this project, working alongside almost every city department to ensure the new solution will be tailored to meet the city of Fontana’s needs in this space. This project has been a 3-year effort, and we are now nearing the tail-end of the project. The new, improved solution will seamlessly connect with surrounding systems, assist customers with an easy-to-use interface, ensure city employees process requests in a consistent and efficient manner, and provide dynamic insights to internal operations. The new solution is expected to go-live in the spring of 2023.
