New subscription offering provides expert resources for local government IT system teams to maximize the value of their Accela solutions, remove tedious application administration duties, and increase their ability to focus on strategic projects and better business and resident outcomes
Accela, the trusted provider of cloud solutions for government, today announced a new offering, Managed Application Services. These services provide government agencies with day-to-day system administration and proactive optimization of Accela solutions. With Accela Managed Application Services, Accela technology experts ensure government agencies improve how they deliver essential community services and achieve maximum value on tech investments with less effort and reduced resources.
Between IT talent shortages and a majority of public sector employees considering leaving their jobs, government technology teams are being challenged like never before. But with more residents preferring online, “consumer-like” services, agencies do not have the option to pause or cut back on critical IT efforts. Increased resident demand for digital services is driving agencies to seek outside expertise, enabling them to align available agency resources with strategic priorities and reduce the time staff spends on redundant or tedious administration duties and system maintenance.
