In Part 1 of this 4 parts blog series, we’ll walk through each of the four offerings in Oracle’s Permitting and Licensing solution. We made strategic, intentional choices in the design and development of our cloud-native solution to provide a unique solution that is designed for change, and built for you.
In today’s world, the shaping of communities and planning of cities has seen a significant transformation. Factors such as the sharing economy, the need for sustainability, the shortage of affordable housing, demographic changes, and the public’s evolving standards for customer service demand a need for transformation in how planning and zoning services are carried out. Legacy systems were simply not built to handle the current needs and challenges.
Oracle’s Planning and Zoning solution can best be described as a solution that helps you accomplish the following:
- Manage your community’s land use – Promote the growth of liveable and workable neighborhoods and foster close collaboration.
- Modernize constituent experience – From application submissions to fee payments to plan revisions and preparation for public hearings.
- Empower staff – Powerful tools to manage applications and critical activities, research tools, and fast-track approvals.
- Improve review process and hearing management – Automate the review process, and hearing management, using workflow, calendars and schedulers.
- Centralize property and parcel information – Implement a centralized, online way to view and manage property and parcel information.
Through Oracle’s Planning and Zoning solution, you can plan your community with close collaboration. Your residents and contractors will find it simpler to submit project plans and complete digital entitlement applications. Enable your planners with worklists that prioritize tasks and schedule hearings efficiently to accelerate approvals. And deliver strategic benefits, including:
- Provide a collaborative, highly responsive planning process that starts on a shared, mutual understanding.
- Manage the entire entitlement process with ease.
- Meet agency-defined service level agreements and drive decision-making with real-time reporting.
- Research and manage vital development projects in your community.
