Spescom Awarded $300,000 Contract by City of Lancaster
Spescom Software, Inc announced the City of Lancaster, California has purchased Spescom eB® content management software solution for its City Clerk and Building & Safety departments. The deal is valued at approximately $300,000.
Located in Southern California, the City of Lancaster is approximately 95 square miles with a population of approximately 129,000. Some 200 employees manage the city's seven departments: Administration, City Clerk, Community Development, Finance, Human Resources, Parks, Redevelopment, and Public Works. eB will initially be implemented in the Public Works Department as the first phase of an enterprise plan to enable all departments with eB throughout the city government. The Public Works Department includes the Engineering, Building & Safety, Maintenance and Transportation Divisions.
Robert Neal, City of Lancaster Building and Safety Official, commented, "After a comprehensive evaluation, the Spescom eB solution demonstrated that it meets our business requirements and establishes a platform that supports the information vision for Lancaster, which includes seamless integration with core business applications such as Hansen, ESRI's GIS and Microsoft products. The implementation of a proven and robust product such as eB is an essential building block in meeting the City's vision to continually increase the level of service to the Lancaster community."
Spescom Software's CEO, Keith Stentiford, added, "This new contract demonstrates that eB can meet the needs of a diversified range of organizations. We are looking forward to working with the City of Lancaster and adding them to the growing list of local government customers that are using eB to unify multiple systems within their operations."
eB provides systematic control over the life cycle of recorded information whether created internally or acquired from external sources, or in the form of paper records, data in electronic databases, graphics, maps or drawings. eB will enable the Building & Safety permitting process to become a paperless function. The benefits to the City Clerk's office include enhanced operational efficiencies as City users and the general public will be able to access relevant and accurate information more quickly than currently possible, improving productivity and customer service.
