”Jones continued, “My challenges are different now. The City continues to operate with substantial staffing shortages resulting from the revenue loss that forced layoffs of 70 percent of the staff. It has become clear to me that our need to re-engineer and automate existing manual processes is a major part of the solution. These challenges are once again being met by a combination of CIBER integration services and Metastorm BPM. We already have additional processes under development for the City, including Cut Street Permitting and Contract Management.”

CIBER has established a reputation for providing superior services and integration solutions. Its consultants are seasoned professionals who build long-term, trusted relationships and bring a high level of energy, integrity, experience and value to client work.
