After years of making the best of what they had, many local governments have moved decisively away from on-premises solutions in favor of cloud-based solutions to meet demand for data and virtual workflows in the pandemic. It's no longer acceptable for local government leaders to say: We don't have that data; we can't run that report; or this has to be done manually and in person. The demand for information and agility has led many to move to the cloud.
Two jurisdictions – Nassau Bay, Texas, and Salem, Massachusetts – recently transitioned to a cloud-based solution after facing challenges consistent with legacy systems. Nassau Bay dispensed of an at-risk, on-premises server and replaced it with a cloud financial management solution that allows for budget elements in one platform versus disparate spreadsheets and accurate and timely data with shared reports and dashboards. In Salem, a modernized permitting process hosted in the cloud is substantially increasing ease of use and, resultantly, fees collected. It also allowed the city to implement 27 new permit types.
