Chelmsford Chooses New Cloud-based System for Permits, Licenses

Recently the town announced it has selected a new system for rollout in a few months that will allow residents to apply for permits online.

ViewPermit, based out of Belmont, will provide an integrated system that will combine GIS data and licensing information in a cloud-based environment.

“The ViewPermit system will increase the convenience to the public, while improving employee productivity," says Town Manager Paul Cohen. "Residents and business owners will be able to file and track the status of their licenses and permits online. It is what one expects in today’s digital world.”

Chelmsford will follow in the footsteps of other nearby communities including Fitchburg, Lexington and Peabody in adopting ViewPermits' products.

"The ViewPermit cloud platform is a cutting edge technology that offers dynamically scalable and virtualized resources as a service over the Internet through national datacenters situated in different regions for security and redundancy." says Nasser Hajo, ViewPoint Chief Executive Officer. "We have a proven system that has been well received by cities, towns, and regional agencies, and we look forward to using all that we have learned from them in implementing ViewPermit for Chelmsford."

More information on ViewPermit is available on their website.
