Overall, SimpliGov is working with cities, counties and states across the U.S. to automate constituent-facing processes, such as permit renewals, new business applications and employment applications, as well as automating internal business operations of government agencies.

The SimpliGov platform enables government agencies to automate a wide variety of applications and use cases. The cloud-based capabilities eliminate the need for long, costly implementations and avoid any need to rip and replace existing infrastructure.
