Paladin Data Systems announces City of Olympia, Wash, as the newest SMARTGov customer
POULSBO, Wash., Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paladin Data Systems is pleased to announce that the City of Olympia, Washington's state capitol, is its newest SMARTGov customer. SMARTGov, Paladin's community development software solution, manages the full lifecycle of permits, inspections, licenses, and code enforcement activities for jurisdictions. Olympia will also deploy SMARTGov's online Public Portal, which gives citizens visibility to the permitting and code enforcement processes of the city. SMARTGov will replace Sungard, the city's existing permitting software.
"The City of Olympia was looking for a cloud-based solution that would enable our development community to actively engage with us anytime, anywhere, and for any reason," said David Kuhn, supervisor of Olympia's IT Business Systems & GIS Services department. "SMARTGov was the only solution that provided that level of accessibility for our customers and staff. Furthermore, Paladin's implementation service approach and attention to detail has been unparalleled in my experience with a vendor."
Olympia is a heavy user of the geographic information system-based (GIS) Land Information System. LIS is used for cadastral and land-use mapping by local governments and includes associated attributes and spatial data representing the legal boundaries of land tenure. It provides a vital base layer capable of integration into other geographic systems or as a standalone solution that allows data stewards to retrieve, create, update, store, view, analyze, and publish land information.
The implementation of SMARTGov by Olympia has allowed for a unique collaborative opportunity with Paladin to research and develop solutions to integrate the city's LIS with SMARTGov permitting. This will enable seamless integration between the two systems, giving city planners a more effective, smooth experience with new development projects.
As noted above, Olympia will deploy SMARTGov's online Public Portal, which is a significant addition to the city's ability to serve the public, acting as a full-featured extension of its front counter services. Using the portal, the public can research local building trends, apply for a permit, view maps, pay fees, submit digital architectural drawings, request inspections, and even review public notice postings in a 24/7, self-help environment.
More than 60 users will operate the cloud-based SMARTGov system, which also includes major business process changes to accommodate enhanced workflow capabilities. Functional integration of Olympia's LIS and SMARTGov's permitting system is set for January 2016. April 2016 is the targeted Go-Live date for planning, permitting, code enforcement, business licensing, and the public portal for citizen access for application processing, inspection requests, and online payments. Plans call for a post-production electronic plan markup capability to be added after launch.
"This is an important win for the SMARTGov team. Having our state capital using SMARTGov software is a big deal to our company, and we look forward to starting the work with Olympia's deployment team. With the addition of Olympia, we now have 25 SMARTGov deployments in Washington State," said Jim Nall, Paladin CEO.
Located 60 miles south of Seattle, Olympia is the capital of Washington State and the county seat of Thurston County. Incorporated on Jan. 28, 1859, the city currently has a population of more than 50,000 and is a major cultural center of the Puget Sound region.
About SMARTGov
SMARTGov is Web-based software application developed by Paladin Data Systems to support community development functions including permitting, planning, inspections, code enforcement, licenses, fees, parcels, contractors and many others. SMARTGov is configurable, flexible and interactive. It allows community development users the ability to prioritize projects, manage workflow, communicate with other departments, and work more efficiently. While typically deployed as a cloud-based service, SMARTGov can be deployed on-premise and give both citizens and jurisdiction staff access to project data on the Web 24/7. Paladin offers a 30-day trial of SMARTGov software at no cost or obligation.
About Paladin Data Systems Corporation
Winner of numerous prestigious awards that include Top DoD Program Award, Paladin Data Systems has developed a suite of cloud-based software products serving a wide-range of government agencies across all 50 states and 6 territories.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) provides governance, development, and maintenance for application software. Requirements management, software architecture, programming, testing, change management, continuous integration, project management, and release management are fundamental to lifecycle management. Modern software development processes are complex
New systems must accommodate all manner of server, cloud, and virtual computing platforms. Software frameworks are evolving that require attention to the entire application focus. Mobile devices need to be accommodated. A software framework is a platform for developing software. Applications depend on functions that can be used to input variables from a process. Input is used to manage hardware devices, and permit interaction with system software. ALM streamlines the development process permitting programmers to achieve efficiency through reuse of code when developing a new application.

IT Departments Face Obstacles to User Mobility for Fear of Data Breaches
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organizations are challenged to meet demands for greater mobility as 92% of IT departments worldwide still restrict users from accessing sensitive corporate data and resources from mobile devices. This is according to a recent global survey of 900 IT decision makers by Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security. Despite almost all organizations (98%) having users who require mobile or remote access, 95% of IT departments are facing obstacles to increased user mobility in their organization, the primary being security concerns.
The 2015 Global Authentication and Identity Access Management Index reveals that almost all respondents (94%) are concerned that their organization will be breached or hacked as a result of credential theft or compromise. This is exacerbated by the rise in mobile endpoints within organizations, as most organizations reported to have, on average, two mobile end points per user and managing three sets of credentials per user. Additionally, on average, one out of every five (20%) IT support tickets are resulting from lost or forgotten usernames and passwords.
In an effort to overcome the security challenges around mobility, the majority of IT departments (86%) plan to implement two-factor authentication for access to cloud applications. Currently, 38% of users utilize two-factor authentication, this is expected to rise to over half (51%) of users using it in two years. Over half (57%) already use two-factor authentication to secure external users' access to resources, indicating the varied use of the technology. Almost all (92%) respondents currently have at least one application protected by two-factor authentication, with cloud applications, web portals and VPNs among the top three apps protected.
As IT continues to look to two-factor authentication to deal with the credentials crunch, the vast majority (91%) of respondents are seeking to do this by using cloud-based authentication-as-a-service and managing their organization's two-factor authentication centrally. By having the ability to implement uniform policies that address security threats in a consistent way, two-factor authentication can at the same time streamline access to numerous applications. In addition, cloud efficiencies are a critical factor in being able to deploy two-factor authentication across multiple use cases and implement solutions quickly and efficiently. Indeed, 90% of respondents view cloud delivery as a key consideration in the purchasing process of a strong authentication solution.
"The pressure is on for IT departments to accommodate demands for greater mobility as employees crave new and flexible approaches to working," said François Lasnier, Senior Vice President for Identity Protection at Gemalto. "Organizations that are not open to this change are very likely to be inhibiting business productivity.
"Users are likely to do what it takes to get the job done, with or without permission, so when corporate resources are scattered across different sites, the need for strong authentication and as-a-service delivery will serve vital functions in making this happen securely. In doing so, organizations will be better placed to protect the identities of their users, without sacrificing on productivity or data protection."
"The growing use of cloud applications and mobile devices within organizations, combined with rising threats, and the need to reduce costs, require entirely new considerations for access control. Clearly there is an immediate need for authentication and access management solutions that can help organizations solve these challenges," concluded Lasnier.
"Organizations recognize the need to scale security to protect as many on-premises and cloud applications as possible, especially when sourcing a two-factor authentication solution," said Garrett Bekker, Senior Security Analyst at 451 Research. "The survey findings suggest that the choice of two-factor authentication will depend on the solution's ability to provide centralized management, as well as secure access to the widest range of applications."
Some of the additional key findings of the survey include:
Importance of mobility
- Almost all (97%) respondents' organizations recognize it is important to offer mobility to employees in their work practices.
- The number of users utilizing tokens for mobility in respondents' organizations looks likely to increase across the board - on average, 37% of users in respondents' organizations are currently using them for mobility with this figure expected to increase to 46% on average, in two years' time.
The role of cloud in the purchasing decision
- Cloud is also significant factor when it comes to choosing the preferred delivery model of two-factor authentication with 90% agreeing that cloud delivery as a key consideration in the purchasing process of a strong authentication solution.
- When it comes to the final purchasing decision however, over half the organizations reveal that this decision lies with the CIO, with the CSO, CCO, CEO and CFO all likely to be involved in the process as well.
- The total cost of ownership is, according to 20% or respondents, the most significant consideration when deciding which two-factor authentication solution to select
Security threats and compliance
- Almost all (95%) respondents think that it is important that their organization has the ability to produce a single audit trail of access events taking place throughout different resources
- The vast majority (95%) of respondents think that two-factor authentication can help their organization comply with data protection regulations and pass security audits
About the Survey
The research from Gemalto polled 900 IT decision makers in July 2015, across the US (200), UK (100), France (100), Germany (100), Australia (100), Japan (100), Benelux (50), Middle East (50), South Africa (50) and Hong Kong (50). All respondents' organizations across a variety of sectors have at least 250 employees. Interviews were conducted by Vanson Bourne, an independent specialist in market research for the technology sector.
