Best Practices for Cutting Permit Processing Time & Increasing Efficiency Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2:00pm ET / 11:00am PT Duration: 1 hour In times of shrinking budgets community development and building departments are being asked to do more with fewer resources.  Forward-thinking jurisdictions are using state-of-the-art Web and Cloud technologies to help their staff work smarter and give their citizens faster turnaround times and transparent self-service options. Please join us for a discussion to learn about four of the best practices that jurisdictions are using to reduce permit-processing time and get happier constituents. Deploy integrated review cycle methodology – how to create an integrated review process that cuts processing time. Create standardized repeatable processes – how to develop processes that are based on prescribed workflows. Engage citizens and stakeholders early and often – how to automatically share information across departments, agencies and with the public. Empower your users – how to keep pace with changes in your jurisdiction and give your staff the power to tailor the system according to their job role, without calling IT.
