City of Santa Monica, CA to Deploy Electronic Plan Submission and Review Services Using ProjectDox from Avolve Software

September 30, 2009

Sustainable Initiative to Streamline Plan Approval Process Will Yield Direct Benefits to Citizens, Reducing Costs and Environmental Impact

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — September 30, 2009 — Avolve Software Corporation, developers of ProjectDox® Communication and collaboration software and the leading provider of ePlan solutions for government nationwide, announced today that the City of Santa Monica, CA – famous for its beaches, recreation and creative community – will deploy electronic plan submission and review services using the company’s ProjectDox ePlan technology solution.

ProjectDox ePlan solution allows jurisdictions like Santa Monica to offer electronic file submission and review to citizens, architects, and developers who collaborate with government departments on engineering and construction plan sets and documents. Key benefits include reducing paper, printing costs, storage costs, deforestation, drive time, gasoline consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions – while improving customer service and enabling greater efficiency between multiple departments.

The City of Santa Monica, located in West Los Angeles County, sits on Santa Monica Bay of the Pacific Ocean, and has a storied past as a recreation center for Hollywood celebrities. The City boasts a large and diverse creative community, the famous Santa Monica Pier amusement park, and the original Muscle Beach, so-named for the muscular gymnasts that would perform feats of strength in public to entertain visitors. Santa Monica has been a champion of sustainable construction and conservation efforts for more than twenty years, and has a reputation for preserving and promoting a high quality of life for residents.

Electronic plan submission and review technology is expected to enhance the Santa Monica community by making it much easier for citizen and commercial customers to apply for and then complete the permit and plan review and approval process online, automating key tasks and saving time, money and natural resources. Digital storage and on-demand access and retrieval of archived project plans remotely over mobile networks also contribute to improved preparedness regarding emergency response and disaster recovery.

“The City of Santa Monica exemplifies the Southern California lifestyle and city leadership has always sought to provide the best in public amenities for its citizens,” said Ron Loback, CEO and President of Avolve Software. “Deploying ProjectDox electronic plan review technology is a testament to intelligent city planning and extends Santa Monica’s commitment to sustainable practices and excellence in public services delivery.”
