Rancho Cordova, California, July 19, 2006 - Hansen Information Technologies, a leading provider of government Enterprise Resource Management software solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a $702,000 contract with Glynn County, Georgia, to provide the Hansen 8 Web-based Community Development and Regulation (CDR) software package to manage the County's permitting, planning, code enforcement, and customer service functions.

Hansen 8 will enable the Glynn County Community Development Department's Planning and Zoning, Building Inspections, Code Enforcement, and Engineering Divisions to electronically track all activities which are currently performed manually or with temporary, improvised computer systems. The new system will provide an integrated solution for all divisions; reduce overall costs; increase productivity; improve public service and satisfaction; and enhance communication, coordination and collaboration within the department.

"Hansen 8 offers a solution that not only provides the latest .NET and XML technology, but that will also allow us to effectively use the technology to serve our citizens," said John Catron, IT Director for Glynn County. "We are looking forward to replacing our outdated software with a 100% Web-browser-based product that will be accessible to office staff, field staff, citizens and developers. There is no doubt that Hansen's software will help us to provide improved public service and satisfaction."

In 2004, the County issued over 700 building permits and managed over 900 code enforcement cases, compared to 550 building permits and 871 cases in 2003. The implementation of Hansen 8 for Building and Use Permits; Customer Service; Code Enforcement; Cashiering; Mobile Code Enforcement and Community Development Inspections; and DynamicPORTAL for Permitting and Customer Service products is slated to begin in spring 2006 and finish in spring 2007.

"Hansen looks forward to working with Glynn County to deploy our Web-based e-Permitting government solution. We believe that working with their knowledgeable team to ensure a successful deployment will help them to gain operational efficiencies and provide real-time access to important information," said Bob Benstead, Director of Hansen's Community Development and Regulation Business Unit. "We are confident that our partnership will enable them to better serve their constituents."
