75 Accela Testimonials

“When I first started here, we were totally with paper, Everything was handwritten, handtyped and filed in file drawers that filled a room. We needed some common tool for everyone to talk to, and our choice was Accela.”

“We emailed a series of customer communications announcing the online option and citizens are now navigating the system on their own with success. The comments we are receiving from the public have been positive, thanking us for an added option, which traditionally has been paper-based and is now available online.”

“The ability to collect all of the data and information in one location is priceless.”

“We wanted a cloud solution because we have limited funding, and buying servers to handle the volume of processing that we do was simply not cost-effective.”

"The amount of savings we’ve realized in such a short time really shows how this solution provides immediate, measurable benefits. It also points to the added value everyone gains when more and more entities participate in the ecosystem."

“Our challenge was to do more with less. We wanted to do away with other applications and look at one where we could centralize and take a product and leverage it as many times as we can. We see that with Accela.”

“I’m just extremely excited about the Accela Civic Platform. It has a lot of functionality and it’s very robust; it’s so much better than anything that we’ve ever had before. Within your workflow, you can quickly tell where things are and how you’re progressing through the application.”

“We’ve become incredibly transparent. The most important thing for us is that it took a division that was siloed in individual data management systems and brought us all under one system.”

“Accela Right of Way Management allows our users to align their project schedules so street cuts occur only once. This helps us cut down on street closings, which avoids traffic problems and reduces the negative impact on our neighborhoods. Most important, it helps our governments and utilities stretch their limited budgets by realizing very significant savings in paving costs.”

“We anticipate that by next year, we will realize $1 million or more in savings with Accela Right of Way Management.”

“We asked ourselves what kinds of programs are out there that could do this seamlessly, and in all honesty, the answer for us really was Accela Boards and Commissions.”

"Our philosophy is that municipal government needs to remain at the forefront of change, so we’re continually adapting our business processes and making them more efficient. One of the big things is a key focus on customer service, really listening to the voice of the customer and providing them technology. The Accela Civic Platform allows for that."

"We’ve become incredibly transparent. The most important thing for us is that it took a division that was siloed in individual data management systems and brought us all under one system."
