Adept Technologies Implements the City of Hollywood, Florida, With Adept's New Building, Inspection, and Code Enforcement Software System
City’s Field Inspectors Now Conducting Inspections Remotely
New York, New York (2008) - The City of Hollywood, Florida, went live on a new building, inspection, and code enforcement system developed by Adept Technologies, a leading innovator of custom government software solutions, that centralizes reporting and allows for real-time, on-site inspections.
Adept Technologies and the City of Hollywood technology department have worked side-by-side to implement Adept Enterprise with Adept Wireless products for one year, building a custom system to fully automate the city's building, inspection, and code enforcement process for 200 users. The city is now running the Adept Enterprise solution product, a .Net Windows-based Permit Management software system that is integrated with Adept Wireless, an innovative Windows Mobile Tablet PC software package.
“Our solutions package is customized for every client we work with and implemented as a team effort between the municipality and Adept Technologies,” said Nicholas Cordua, Director of Technology, Adept Technologies Inc. “We want to make sure that the IT staff along with the endusers are completely familiar and comfortable with every aspect of the new system, and are able to make design changes, as the government requirements change over time.”
The hands-on approach and willingness to share information openly is a key element of why Adept Technologies was selected by Hollywood for the contract, along with Adept’s customized solutions approach that addresses the growing municipality’s needs. Continued support will be provided to Hollywood, as needed, and as new technologies are developed, upgrades can be easily implemented.
The new Adept Technologies system is managing annual transactions of approximately 13,500 building permits, 66,000 building inspections and issuance of 33,000 code violations for Hollywood, with key benefits of:
- Centralization of all reporting between government departments, securely
- Tracking of permits, developments and reviews, violations and cases, inspections, meetings and agendas, contractor and people information, addresses, parcel records, fee transactions.
- In-the-field operability, allowing inspector’s remote, real-time access, for tracking and processing in the field.

With clients throughout the United States, the Adept Technology solution is increasingly becoming the choice of government entities seeking more than a turnkey software package.
