BasicGov web-based software streamlines key business processes for city and county community development departments. BasicGov consists of three integrated software modules (BasicGov - Permits & Inspections, BasicGov - Code Enforcement and BasicGov - Planning). Unlike enterprise software that’s expensive to acquire and difficult to implement, BasicGov requires no capital investment and is easy to set-up.
CloudBench Applications, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBH) (formerly Municipal Software Group, Inc.) develops, sells and supports BasicGov, an affordable web-based software used by small to medium-sized local governments to streamline their permits and inspections, code enforcement and planning processes. BasicGov is a reliable, secure solution delivered for an affordable price and the only web-based software for local governments built on Force.com, the cloud computing platform from SalesForce.com used by more than 55,000 organizations worldwide. BasicGov software requires only an Internet connection and a browser.
Its cloud entries include one product which streamlines the technology used by corporate software developers and testers, which can consume 30 percent or more of a company’s technology resources. Other offerings coming later include clouds fine-tuned for data storage and clouds for business analytics.
I.B.M. knows how to do all of those things,” Frank Gens, chief analyst for IDC, a technology research firm, told the New York Times. “Its strategy is all about making cloud computing safe for enterprise customers.” The newspaper reported that Big Blue is taking a “tailored approach,” promoting the cloud for computing workloads in business.
