Accela Closes Quarter With Expanded Customer Roster, New Go-Lives
Accela closed the 2021 fiscal year with double-digit growth in annual recurring revenue and unparalleled professional services revenue performance. Additionally, customer retention is among the industry’s best at 98 percent, a testament to the caliber of Accela’s solutions and commitment to great government.
South Dakota Department of Health joined Accela’s customer ecosystem, implementing Accela Cannabis Regulation in record time to ensure the state met its deadline obligations. Accela, along with partner CloudPWR™ and gold partner Byrne Software Technologies, Inc.™, are helping regulate and support the state’s new medical cannabis program.

Unyielding Support of Customers on Their Migration to the Cloud
Cloud solutions deliver safer, easier to manage, more cost effective, and more secure services. Last quarter, the City of Los Gatos, CA, and the California Coastal Commission successfully migrated to Accela’s cloud-based platform, while three existing customers — the County of Atlantic, NJ; the County of Butte, CA; and the County of Humboldt, CA — migrated onto Accela’s cloud-based Environmental Health Civic Application. This robust solution powers the fast and compliant inspections, citations, and permitting, and notifications essential to creating a healthy community.
New Implementations, Cloud Availability Fuel Accela’s International Expansion
Accela’s continued international expansion empowers governments across the globe to adopt a cloud-first approach to tech solutions. The company unveiled general availability of expanded SaaS offerings — including its Accela Civic Platform — in Australia and New Zealand, as well as completed its first cloud migration in the region with a local government agency in New Zealand. By migrating to the cloud, customers in the region are optimizing costs and accelerating digitization.
“Australia and New Zealand are in the process of reimagining life and work in a pandemic-impacted world. As both countries’ governments have prioritized a cloud-first govtech approach they are well placed to digitize and transform citizen-facing services and to support public servants with a more flexible modern work environment,” said Lizelle Hughes, director of SaaS and ISV Partnerships at Microsoft ANZ. “Microsoft is proud to support Accela’s Azure-powered platform and to help empower government departments in this region to tap into the performance, resilience and security of trusted cloud.”
Accela’s purpose-built cloud solutions provide endless options for unique regulatory and workflow needs. A new implementation in Abu Dhabi is proof of this agility and flexibility, by enabling birth certificates to be issued through the Abu Dhabi Government Services platform powered by Accela. As a result, parents can digitally upload the required documents, pay fees, and receive a copy of their newborn’s birth certificate, rather than visiting an office during this unprecedented time.
