a provider of business process automation solutions for local
government and salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the market and technology
leader in on-demand business services, today announced the
availability of Local Government Manager for salesforce.com's
AppExchange. Local Government Manager enables municipalities
to manage their entire permitting and inspections function
from end to end. Local Government Manager is immediately available
for test drive and deployment at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange.
The announcement was made today at Dreamforce '06, salesforce.com's
User and Developer Conference.
Local Government Manager for AppExchange
is a native salesforce.com application that automates and
manages the traditionally time-consuming permitting and inspections
process. It is both configurable and customizable, comes with
a number of standard reports and relies heavily on standard
Salesforce objects such as contacts and activities. Municipal
Software's Local Government Manager also uses the Salesforce
dashboard to easily identify status or problems within the
permitting function.

has delivered practical purposely designed solutions for mid
to large municipalities. By partnering with the on-demand
industry leader salesforce.com on the AppExchange, we can
now offer new options to municipalities who are looking for
easy to implement solutions to automate their core processes
in a way that makes sense for them," said Iain McLean,
chief executive officer for Cloudbench Applications.
