Growing number of Public Sector Organizations
in Florida are implementing cloud-based solutions to improve
constituent experience
GTY Technology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GTYH) (“GTY”), a leading
provider of cloud solutions for the public sector, announced today
that its subsidiaries, Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis,
OpenCounter and Questica, are working with 95
government entities and public sector organizations throughout
Florida to enhance digital services and transform the constituent
experience.
Bonfire, a leader in strategic sourcing and eProcurement
software for the public sector, now supports 18 public sector
clients throughout the state of Florida including 7 K-12 and higher
education institutions, 4 municipalities, 2 healthcare institutions
and 5 special districts including 3 transit authorities. Its
scalable cloud-based solutions help procurement and finance
departments better manage supplier contracts and digitize the
procurement process to support strategic spending of public funds
throughout the state.
CityBase, a leading provider of government and utility
payment technology, is helping four city and county governments in
Florida provide a better payment experience for their constituents.
The City of Edgewater, Hillsborough County, St. Lucie County, and
Volusia County have elected to modernize their payments process
with self-service kiosks that accept cash, check, and cards. This
24/7 payment option especially provides residents who prefer to pay
their bills in cash, or those who need to make payments outside of
business hours, with a secure and convenient alternative to taking
time off work during business hours or using costly third-party
services. The integrated, cloud-based kiosk technology digitizes
the in-person payment experience to significantly reduce
person-to-person contact during the pandemic, and will reduce
workloads for city staff by eliminating historically manual
reconciliation processes.
eCivis, the most widely used SaaS-based grants management
solution for state, local and tribal governments, is working with
23 cities, 10 counties, 1 college and 2 special districts in the
State of Florida. Recently, eCivis has broadened its grants
management support throughout the state by collaborating with the
Florida League of Cities (FLC) to launch The FLC Grants Assistance
Program. Through this initiative, eCivis is providing each of FLC’s
411 incorporated cities, towns, and villages access to the nation’s
largest professionally curated database of grants and the tools to
help them successfully identify, apply for and manage the
application process. The organization has seen a very high level of
early engagement, with more than 100 cities signed up in the first
three months.
OpenCounter, a leading provider of public sector
permitting technology, supports a number of municipalities in
Florida including Orlando, Miami, Deland and Gainesville with its
Business, Residential and Special Event portals. Each solution
improves the permitting experience for both City Hall and
constituents by providing a single source of information for
applicants, and significantly reducing the burden on government
personnel. OpenCounter’s suite of portals directly promotes
economic development by making the process of starting and
maintaining a business or event accessible and easy.
GTY Technology’s budgeting units Questica and
Sherpa, industry-leading providers of cloud-based budget,
performance, and transparency solutions for the public sector, are
supporting a growing number of customers in the State of Florida
including 20 non-profit organizations, 10 local governments, 2
higher education institutions and 1 aviation authority. Questica’s
intuitive, cloud-based budgeting software streamlines the budgeting
process and curates information based on historic data to inform
data-driven decisions. These advanced capabilities have empowered
customers throughout the state, such as Osceola County, Pinellas
County, and Daytona Beach, to be more strategic, collaborative, and
agile in response to new and evolving stimulus mandates.
“We have seen a significant acceleration in the appetite for
digital tools and services in the public sector,” said TJ Parass,
CEO of GTY Technology. “Navigating the complexities that
accompanied the global health crisis over the past two years has
irrevocably changed citizen expectations, and governments are
taking significant steps to provide a better, more comprehensive
digital experience. Florida is a great example of a state where
cities, counties and public sector organizations are looking beyond
the pandemic and focusing on how to provide the best service in the
long-term.”
