Technology news for public works professionals
Advice from Heavy Highway
Dear Heavy Highway:
We can’t be the only ones having this problem! My city would like to have access to the latest technology, but we don’t have the budget that large cities and state agencies have. What can we do?
Signed,
Small Budget in the USA
Dear Small Budget:
You already know that the web is a powerful tool. Did you know it can be your ticket to the best technology without a hefty price tag?
The exciting news is that cities and counties of all sizes now have improved access to technology solutions because more are available as web-based services. Deployment via the web reduces overhead and implementation costs. Plus, since the interface is so familiar, staff training is much easier.
Appia is one such solution. Please take some time to learn more about how it can help your agency!
